John R. Hibbing, a political scientist noted for his disciplined, fact-based research on our political divisions, delivers his presentation from Nebraska on webinar to a live audience at the First Presbyterian Church. An important and frustrating question about today’s politics is "why are we so divided?” In his book,The Securitarian Personality,recently published by the Oxford University Press, John Hibbing delves into the psychological and ideological composition of the Trump movement. He takes issue with those who consider Trump supporters as classic authoritarians. Hibbing argues that a desire for authority is not central to Trump’s base. Drawing on participant observation, focus groups, and an original nationwide survey of Americans that included 1,000 ardent Trump supporters, Hibbing demonstrates that what Trump’s base really seeks is a specific form of security. The central objective of these “securitarians” is to strive for protection for themselves, their families, and their dominant cultural group.Through rigorous research, Hibbing presents a compelling thesis that begins to explain some important forces that are at work in our divided society.
