I've tended to believe this basic view of persuasion. It's very much aligned with Jonathan Haidt's work in The Righteous Mind.
However, it occurs to me that it does a terrible job of accounting for why married couples often differ in their worldviews.

Ha, you beat me to it. I didn't see your comment but my mind went to the same place.
Are you referring to the "Righteous Mind" accounting for married couples that differ in worldview? IIRC Haidt's ending is that companies and governments need all three minds to meet their potential. I tend to agree though world views shift over time. One can think more like a liberal but not be a democrat. One can think like a conservative and not be a republican. At least that's my view. There was a time when people didn't allow politics to be at the center of their being. I know, sounds crazy. Pretty sure my mom voted democrat and I know my dad voted republican.

No, I'm saying that The Righteous Mind talks about the importance of getting people to like you, before they're willing to listen to what you have to say.

I think it goes to show that what tribe you're part of is a separate thing than your personal friendships. They're correlated, but different aspects of your life.
