@lenkabustikova.bsky.social and I introduce the concept of "Confessional Illiberalism" and distinguish it from two other forms of illiberalism, reactionary and prejudicial illiberalism.

We also compare the concept to other '-isms' to tidy the backsliding literature.

A bar chart showing how the vote shares of amongst female voters differ from the overall result

The modern gender gap is alive & well in #Germany: women were more likely to support the parties on the left (SPD, Greens, and well, Left), less likely to support the Christian Democrats & Liberals, and massively less likely (17% vs 24%) to vote for the #farright #AfD #btw25

Turns out, young German women are more afraid of extreme right than immigrants.
