Maybe you're in a bubble in terms of knowing how people feel about out-parties, as your descriptions of right-wing parties are too caricatural for you to not be biased. I'm in the same bubble and don't think most people view things that way. Your point about skewed results is right though: reading through the paper's annex on dataset construction, no distinction is made between out-parties. An analysis based on political spectrum-based clusters of parties would have been more telling, though the current methodology is probably on point for the more echo-chambered people.

> your descriptions of right-wing parties are too caricatural for you to not be biased Fair, obviously I'm a leftie. But I don't believe that PVV voters are going to be equally angry when FvD wins the elections than when D66 does. I can make caricatures and still understand that about right-wing voters. Plus we have the exact same on the left, you can choose between the closeted maoists, the educated-elites-pretending-to-care-about-workers party, the educated-elites-not-even-pretending-to-care-about-workers party, the God-loves-workers-but-hates-gays party and the party against the humans (but for the animals). Seriously the only party I can't come up with an obvious caricature of is CDA but then again they don't really stand for anything so it fits.
