Primary Outcomes (End Points)

Before
Beliefs about political systems (democracy, autocracy, left wing and right win populism) and economic performance: we will ask if a right-wing populist, left-wing populist versus non-populist have better economic performance (Control 1 and two treatment arms related to populism). We will ask if autocrat versus democrats have better economic performance (Control 2 and one treatment arm related to autocracy). We expect citizens to update their beliefs according to the information we provided in the videos.
Preferences for different political regimes: we will mention different characteristics typically associated with popoulism, nonpopulism, democracies and autocracies and ask if the individual agrees (from 1 to 5) with different statements related to how desirable/non desirable those characteristics are in a political system.
We will ask at the end of the survey who they are planning to vote in the upcoming presidential elections.
Important 1: we have a specific control for "autocracy versus democracy" and one specific control for "populism (right or left) versus nonpopulism".
Important 2: we will show unpooled and pooled results for populism (that is, left+right populism).
Important 3: in the treatment arms, we described a populist regime but called it "personalist"; that is because the word "populism" in Spanish is too much associated (in the public view) with specific politicians.

Important 4: we will analyze the beliefs results controlling by pre-treatment beliefs (the idea is to measure the change on beliefs) and also will analyze heterogeneous effects by pre-treatment beliefs (on the relevant topic: populism or autocracy)
