The most interesting piece of this for me is that the "gender politics index" is an even stronger predictor of Trumpy support than the "modern sexism index."

What that means to me is that, as with everything that makes the news coming out of high profile republicans, their positions are utterly cynical and calculated to induce fear-based rage voting, rather than a reflection of a sincerely held set of moral and cultural beliefs.
