Class Sub-Conscious: Hegemony, False Consciousness, and the Development of Political and Economic Policy Attitudes

However, Americans also fail to understand the severity of the economic divide in US society between those with and without financial wealth. The refusal to recognize this economic divide between ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ carries profound implications for American public policy. Those who fail to recognize the economic divide are less likely to support redistributive efforts to reduce the divide in an era of record inequality. In this study, I document the effects of class consciousness on opinions of progressive and conservative political-economic policy-related issues. I identify the ways in which Americans subconsciously allow their personal backgrounds and their opinions about the economic divide to color their opinions of political-economic policy issues.

Through analyzing public opinion data collected by the Pew Research Center between 2004 and 2016, the chapter presents a regression analysis that finds little evidence of a liberal polarizing effect for CNN and MSNBC consumption on political attitudes, while finding both selective exposure and polarization to be at work in regard to Fox News consumption. These findings corroborate those of network analysts who have identified a structural asymmetry in political polarization within online media—with right-wing news audiences more insular and their preferred media more ideologically self-reinforcing than their counterparts on the liberal left. The chapter argues that asymmetrical polarization in general, and in conservative news in particular, has measurable effects on political attitude formation among cable television consumers.
