Note the Atlantic article's sub-title - "Many psychologists wrongly assumed that coercive attitudes exist only among conservatives".

The key word is "psychologists". At best, that field's WEIRD problem ( https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/non-weird-science/20... ) leaves them poorly qualified on this issue. At worst...why the h*ll would anyone think that psychologists qualify as "The Experts"?
