Research on apocalyptic belief suggests that mood is more predictive than party affiliation or income in how people respond to big risks. Political identity explains surprisingly little. What matters is whether you think capable humans are still in control, how close you feel to the edge, and whether some part of you suspects the crash might actually be an improvement.
