If we had any doubts about the link between Christian nationalism and desire to strip women of their rights, we think this resolves them. In the last year or so, we started hearing what felt like stray mentions of repealing the 19th Amendment – the 1920 Amendment giving women the right to vote. While this seemed absolutely bonkers to us, we've learned that there is often a substantial portion of Americans who take such extreme positions. And that's true here – 20.7 percent of the sample agrees that the amendment should be repealed.
The figure below shows a strong, positive relationship between Christian nationalism and the desire to strip women of their voting rights. The variation by race is technically statistically insignificant (we can't confidently distinguish those relationships – see the right panel of the figure). But the relationship is modestly stronger among Blacks and Asians and a bit weaker among Whites. Non-Christian nationalists (score of zero on the x axis) have less than 10 percent who favor repeal and this support grows to between 20 and 50 percent in favor at the top of the Christian nationalism scale. It feels hard to call an idea fringe when it is actively talked about and a fifth of the adult population agrees with it.
