    There’s only one side that’s tribalistic and that’s the right. If you break down politics enough, there’s only two ways really - for the vulnerable or for those in power. Each side has a multitude of different approaches, but people who chose the path to the right are ultimately all fighting against the weak, the powerless, the discriminated. If you don’t call that out, you’re complicit.

      You can argue that one side is worse than the other all day long - but that’s not what I was talking about. I’m pointing out that reducing an entire group to caricatures and using that to justify dishonest or hostile behavior isn’t helpful. It shuts down conversation and feeds the same tribal mindset you claim to oppose.
