How many people tailor their opinions on this or that issue based on whether they think it's right or wrong morally? I think most people check their wallets first and their group identity second. Maybe the other way around in a totalitarian state, but not a big difference when group identity means poverty or comfort in that context.
Here in a nominally-capitalist state, "it's the economy, stupid" wins elections. What that says about human nature isn't nice.
