re: Why Tribalism Took Over Our Politics

One either joins a tribe which reflects their values or one is forcibly consumed by a tribe that doesn’t. A tribe is more powerful than an individual. The current division is about Values. The Value at issue is essentially the power of Tribalism (Government) vs the Individual Freedom (Constitutional Principal) of the individual. It seems that this ‘Essay’ is a ploy to blame those who value Constitutional Values over Collectivist Government and unite and form a ‘tribe’ to fight against such is somehow an immoral or impractical action. Bottom line: I’m for the whole Human species working compassionately to lift the quality of life for all, per Jesus’s Gospel of Mercy. But I am neither for or believe that it is moral or practical to attempt a form of tribal coercive action based on lies and violent force directed at the opposition ‘tribe’ to accomplish that goal. This essay is ‘word salad’ cooked up to blame the Right in Redneck speak. Won’t fly, when the souls of people’s kids are forced to worship/value Pagan principles. Tribal warfare coming over the hill.

We've always had tribalism. That it's infested politics is not surprising considering the MSM has made it a point to push it.
It's how the elite keep us distracted and at each other's throats.

Tribalism has always been in politics.
E.g., We've never witnessed tribalism to the degree that our media and half the US public cheered the party in power foisting the power of our government against political opponents in an attempt to jail them.
1824, 1860, and 1876 were bitterly contested, and factionated. But this is a whole new level of awful.
The elections of 1796 and 1800 were also nasty. Washington witnessed one, and the run-up to the other. He hoped they'd not represent the norm. For the most part, he got his wish.

A warm fuzzy way of saying GOP voters are going to vote Democrat

No he doesn’t, I only quoted Trump because I know that’s where the interest primarily lies for readers here. The article includes mentions far beyond just Trump.
He also called out the left for getting math problems wrong when the numbers supported an inconvenient conclusion.
Which is the most worrisome because we're supposed to "trust the science".

Two party system has failed, used by government and media to spread division.

People in the experiment gave political party more weight than the student’s race or even grade-point average.
So liberals don’t care about race just that you vote D.

Liberals are intellectually dishonest.

Tribalism took over because the progfilth are not content to ruin their own states/cities. They insist on pushing their godless communist agenda on to the entire country.

Trump, in responding to his indictment in Georgia for conspiring to overturn his 2020 loss in that state
The media’s lock and step propaganda to openly report this as fact shows tribalism. This is hypocritical.

That the indictment accuses him of conspiracy to overturn the election?

Not tribalism; simply the inherent yearning for freedom
Trump is a huge statist, though.

If Trump is the GOP nominee, everyone is voting Democrat, ultimately.

What is incorrect in saying Trump (1) engaged in a conspiracy to (2) flip GA to the GOP?
*ETA: you know not all conspiracies are criminal, right?

Party politics and identity politics promote groupthink.
Its easier for managers in govt to work with groups than humans.

Ultimately, a vote for anyone except Trump is vote for the corporatocracy and the political elite who do their bidding. DeSantis is funded by these deep pocketed entities who hate Trump and are perfectly happy with Biden or any establishment Rino candidate, because their agenda will move forward regardless.
How do you insure your interests are protected?
Back both candidates in an election, giving the masses an illusion of choice.

We don't negotiate with people who steal elections, baw. You can't 'reason' with people who slaughter babies. There is no 'decency' in people who march nude in front of children, while chanting......
"We're here, we're queer, and we're coming for your children".
Go peddle your insults someone else. Some things are not negotiable. Now you and your Moral Relativist pals can accuse, taunt us MAGA's all you want, we cling to something you folks don't understand or accept. It's called Absolute Truth. We don't do situational ethics.
Oh, and I almost forgot.....

Most normal people dislike Trump.
He has to win over independents to win, thats not going to happen.
He had 4 years and is begging for a chance. He had a chance.

Did you miss the trillions Trump printed in 2020 to prop up corporations across the US? Ever heard of PPP?

Again, Trump is the political elite. His financial supporters are part of the political elite, too. His only policies that survive are GOPE policies.

The same people who funded Trump and will fund him again if he's the nominee.

Again, Trump's only lasting legacies are RINO policies (cutting taxes, conservative judicial nominees, etc.)
