Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
This academic study analyzes affective polarization across 12 Western democracies using national election study data from 143 elections spanning from the 1960s to present. The research examines longitudinal patterns of in-party love (positive feelings toward one's own party) and out-party hate (negative feelings toward opposing parties), which together constitute affective polarization. The study expands comparative analysis beyond previous research by providing comprehensive descriptive accounts of how these political attitudes have evolved over decades in established democracies.
