Yet many Democrats and Republicans in the United States have fallen short of that standard because political tribalism motivates them to acquire, perceive and evaluate political information in a biased manner. The result is an electorate that is more extreme, hostile and willing to reject unfavorable democratic outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   In this work, the author provides a host of actionable strategies that are designed to reduce the influence of political tribalism in our lives. The text includes instructions for plumbing the depths of political views; evaluating sources of political information; engaging in difficult political conversations; appraising political data; and assessing political arguments. The first of its kind, this how-to guide is a must-read for partisans who want to become more critical political thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments viii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I: Political Identities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1. The Nature of Political Tribalism 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II: Political Opinions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2. Placing Party Before Policy 34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart III: Political Information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3. Acquiring Political Information 56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4. Perceiving Political Information 76\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5. Evaluating Political Information 99\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6. Evaluating False Political Information 103\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7. Evaluating Political Numbers 120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8. Evaluating Political Arguments 147\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9. Evaluating Political Elections 168\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion: Keeping the Republic 181\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes 189\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography 211\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex 227\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040483803479,"sku":"9781476683102","price":20.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476683102.jpg?v=1750946896","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/political-tribalism-in-america-9781476683102","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
