One key measure of this phenomenon is the growing disparity between the views of Democrats and Republicans on various groups, as documented by American National Election Studies surveys using a thermometer scale.
From 2012 to 2020, Democratic voters' ratings of feminists increased significantly while Republican ratings declined. Similarly, the views on Christian fundamentalists saw contrasting trends.
The starkest difference was observed in partisan views towards the Black Lives Matter movement, with Democrats showing a rise in favorability ratings while Republicans' views decreased, widening the partisan gap from 34.1 to 50.7 points.
