Because we may have separated from the other great apes several million years ago, but the great ape predilection for tribalism sure hasn’t separated from us
In some states, you have to identify to a party to vote for someone in the primary. I was registered independent then had to switch to vote in the primaries
Why would anyone identify by their political ideology? Or worse, by a single party??
“Do you like Football. I’m a Packers fan.”
“Why would anybody identify by their favorite sports team!?”
“… I take it you don’t like sports”
Tribalism makes sense when the other tribe wants to destroy you.
