Abstract

In The Securitarian Personality, John R. Hibbing draws a detailed portrait of the psychological makeup of Donald Trump's most ardent supporters. They are motivated not by fear and not by a desire for authority and conformity, but rather by a desire to keep themselves, their families, and their country's core cultural group secure and safe from outsiders-defined broadly as anyone not contributing to the strength of societal insiders. Hibbing concludes by considering the likely role of Trump supporters in American politics when there is no Trump.
