Yesterday’s hippies, today’s grumpy old man, believed they were sticking it to the man. The only real problem of the left wing of politics with authority was they and those like them were not in charge. Jeremy Frimer explains:
Together with my collaborators Dr. Danielle Gaucher and Nicola Schaefer, we asked both red and blue Americans to share their views about obeying liberal authorities (e.g., “obey an environmentalist”). In an article that we recent published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, we found that liberals were now the ones calling for obedience.
And when the authorities were viewed as ideologically neutral (e.g., office manager), liberals and conservatives agreed. Only when people perceived the authority to be conservative (e.g., religious authority) did conservatives show a positive bias…
Liberal versus conservative is like Yankee fans versus Red Socks fans. Each has its own flag to which it pledges allegiance. And each side has its own authorities to which it demands obedience.

Am I a grumpy old man? I do not know any of these names – I do not know who they are! Yes, I am proud of the fact I know next to nothing about Downton Abbey or Game of Thrones.
