Regardless of what you happen to think of the term, that is the term that is commonly used — so if you want to carry on an intelligible conversation about this you should at least try to understand it. And you did write “Party = Tribe”, which is a total misunderstanding of it.

Additionally, you might have noticed that I wrote “materially showing off in that way”, and that wording was very much crafted to distinguish between the Trumpian showing-off and the academic version. Academics love to show off, just not via gold lettering.

EDIT: Medium is flipping out on me, saying it can’t publish replies then doing so anyway. If you see three duplicate replies or something that’s the reason.
