After the fiasco of January 6 and the semi-fiasco of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), some people like Jackie Gingrich Cushman are calling for moderation. Even Robert Stacy McCain is wondering “Why is tribalism in America now asserting itself in such toxic and ferocious ways?”
Do I have to spell it out? Politics is tribalism, always has been and always will be. The only question is whether my tribe beats your tribe.
What do you think the notion of Allyism is about? There is the tribe of helpless “oppressed peoples,” then there the tribe of noble woke “allies,” and together they will cancel the hated tribe of “white oppressors” who are Literally Nazis.
Who came up with this fake Ally idea? Doesn’t matter. All politics is “fake tribalism.”
For instance, America’s Blacks -- once "black" and then "African American" -- are descended from a whole bunch of tribes in western Africa. Each individual Black got enslaved by some inter-tribal incident of conquest slavery and only then sold to a white European slave trader. Yet now, we are told by our betters, all Blacks belong to one race -- except that race is a social construct. Anyway, if you disagree with any American liberal on race you are a "racist." Barack Obama, son of a white mother and a well-born East African, raised by his white grandparents, is America's First Black President. So there, racist.
Do you get it? This whole race-gender-identity thing is nothing but “fake tribalism,” the cunning creation of political activists who want power.

I would say it is tribalism plus Marxism. Groups versus groups plus oppressed versus oppressors. Marxists, communists and democRATs (I repeat myself) use groups that are stirred up into hatred by perceived injustices to attack the other groups who are the oppressor ideological opponent. Just as Saul Alinsky taught to community organizers like Hillary and Barry.
Good read - totally agree ...
HOW POPULAR IS HE? For his (gag) inauguration, the beloved Biden:
<><> called in thousands of armed Ntl Guard,
<><> the "most popular man in America" hid behind a walled-up White House,
<><> Biden got (cough) "elected" by 81 million votes,
<><> his inaugural had no parade, no marching bands, no Inaugural Ball, and no cheering crowds.
=====================================
Mr Popularity wasted no time flexing his decrepit muscles to intimidate pesky American patriots who smelled a fixed election.
Crypto-liberals on FR...Gotta love em
Politics is about power.
Helping the tribe that has been oppressed, or providing “charity” to the poor, the sick, the elderly, or those without health care, are all just cynical ploys to increase someone’s political power.
If you want real charity, go to a church.
The goodies that the government gives you is just stolen goods from one tribe to another and the only real goal is to benefit the middle man in government.
The Founders gave us LIMITED government but that went out the window a long time ago. Today, it’s just looting and power.
