Whew. This says it all. Whoever you are, you’ve nailed it.[/quote]

People are tribal.  As more an Americans identify less with a religious identity, they replace their tribalism with a political identity.  [/quote]

And what happens when religious identity and positions are intertwined with politicians and policy? ie the Evangelicals [/quote]

What about it? The point is the amount of people with strong religious identity is declining. Secular religion is the new wave.[/quote]
Yet you ignore the fundamentalism and evangelicalism rampaging through our country courtesy the Republican Party. Why is that, why do you seek to pretend that reality isn’t what it is? [/quote]

NP - even accepting that religious identity remains more significant for people on the right, the observation seems to be that people on the left are behaving in ways that seem religious / tribal (e.g., the pressure to confirm viewpoint, shaming, ostracizing non-conformists).  These are all “tribal” behaviors.  Us v Them.  [/quote]

So it is tribal to be a person of color fighting for equal rights? or at least the right not to be shot by a cop in my bedroom?[/quote]
GOP voters have shown you that yes, that’s tribal to them and no, it’s not worth an argument. You are less than them and your concerns about not getting blown away while sleeping are invalid. [/quote]
