How do we best understand the increases in antidemocratic attitudes and political violence? Drawing on works from philosophy, evolution, neuroscience, and political psychology, we propose the Fascist Authoritarian Model of Illiberal Democracy. This model posits that authoritarian ideology, perception of threatening others, and conspiracy-oriented propaganda collectively explain political judgments in support of illiberalism. This talk will provide an overview of the theory, research, and data supporting this model.
