  • Descrição: Progressive economic policy is widely popular across all demographics; however, Progressives are not. The unpopularity of Progressives is especially true in the electorally crucial white working class. There only exists qualitative research demonstrating various understandings of resistance to progressivism, so I conducted the first quantitative assessment of resistance to progressivism, n=264. In line with working class harms of the government’s postindustrial austerity measures, my research demonstrated that the largest fear facilitating resistance towards Progressivism was a disbelief in the governing abilities of Progressives rooted in a mistrust of government expansion policy. This informed my recommendation for Progressive campaigns to adopt evidence-based trust-building techniques for disaffected populations: food and housing coop training, events promoting mindfulness and targeting loneliness, financial literacy etc. These techniques provide individuals and communities with practical tools to address some of their most pressing needs while building enough political capital to carry out systemic change.
