So, let's agree that tribalism is characteristic of the extreme right and extreme left. Then, which tribe is larger & more influential within the respective political parties?
Which tribe presents an existential threat to democracy?
I submit that using real world examples the tribe that promoted stop the steal, mounted an insurrection based upon that bullshit and elected a large number of election deniers in the midterms IS the real threat.
I'm reasonably certain that the musings of Bernie or AOC don't rise to the level of existential threat to democracy, no matter how much hyperbole is used by the other tribe.
Which tribe was most susceptible to the politicization of the Covid mitigation measures and then most skeptical of the Covid vaxxes? Existential threat to life, realized to devastating effect on tribal members.
Sometime today, maybe, the GOP Hottentots will select their tribal leader; perhaps throwing the putative favorite into the mouth of the volcano. Anthropologically it appears to me that the GOP Neanderthals hold the leverage over the fewer in number GOP Cro-Magnons.
And yes, I am rightly denying the humanity of nutters like Margie, Sloebert, Gaetz, Gym Jordan and many more who will become more familiar before the week runs its course.
