This is the first time I've personally witnessed tens of millions of people voting against their own self-interest. That's how powerful Alex Jones, Rush, O'Reilly, Fox News, and Brietbart are. People might actually vote their own self interest if they didn't exist.
I remember taking political philosophy in undergrad. I loved it. Multiple people throughout recorded history have tried to theorize what the perfect representational government would be. Be it Plato, Hobbes, Bacon, Calvin, or even Marx. People voting against their self interests wasn't factored in with regards to a fair government. All those guys figured that was a given. People will push for what's best for themselves. But the lower and middle class Republicans in modern America don't subscribe to that common sense.
If you are a rich top 1% Republican I get it. But everyone else in that party. They are either idiots or brainwashed. Probably both. |
That's what I always tell my students, particularly regarding Marx. He never considered culture as a significant motivator for people's actions. And, in a way, Bernie never figured that part out in the primaries and still doesn't seem to understand it. Focusing on class is incomplete. It's not that people vote against their interests (and they do it often), it's that objective economic factors are often irrelevant to people. We have different and competing tribes in this country. And members that belong to the same tribe often have nothing common. There's very little Trump and people like him share with most of his voters, and yet they feel as one because of their common hatred of their enemies, the liberal tribe. |
People vote their worldview first and foremost. As you pointed out, tribe is incredibly important to that, far before policy. And even with policy, much if it is shaped by tribal norms.

U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

Taking on the NFL and NBA. Should be interesting to see the difference in reaction from the commmishes, owners, coaches, and players. Also Curry didn't hesitate, he said he wasn't going. 
The Warriors will visit someone/somewhere/something instead. It'll be good. |

When even Roger Goodell thinks you're gone too far:
NFL Anthem Dispute: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Fires Back at Trump
| Quote: | | NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Saturday hit back at President Donald Trump's criticism of players who kneel during the national anthem, slamming the comments as "divisive" and showing an "unfortunate lack of respect." |
| Quote: | | In a sharply worded response that didn't mention Trump by name, Goodell said the remarks "demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities." |

What a lame troll. I really, really want to see the Warriors visit the Obamas in Kalorama now. They could have a potluck dinner, give Sasha an honorary jersey, @45 a couple times, and fly back home. |
As much as I think it'd wrong... I would absolutely love to see this happened |

We may call LeBron a drama-queen or whatever, but he stands up for what's right, and he's no Ray Lewis.

Withdrawing an inviation after someone already said he's not coming is like disbanding the business leaders commission after the majority already quit.
Petty and dumb!

Nice to see a president go after black athletes more voraciously than he does Neo- Nazis and their sympathizers. You wanted a White Supremacist Troll in Chief, America?? Here you go!!! You must be proud.

Sexual assault on college campuses is running rampant. So many athletes commit the abuse because the feel they'll not be punished. Like Obamacare the guidelines need tweaking.

I think it bugs him on some level that he isn't in with cityslickers and celebs. He does live in NYC after all. He's forced to pander to the parts of the country that eat roadkill. Ted Nugent types are his celebrity friends. Again, a guy who eats roadkill.
