An astute observation. Too bad other posters here don’t want to even offer workable ideas on how to correct this path we are on. Attacking anyone who isn’t an adherent to the doctrine they espouse is counter productive. But I guess it makes them feel better and validates their beliefs.

We have the govt. that we voted into power. The politicians sold the voters on their visions, wrapped up in the flag and patriotic slogans and then proceeded to do nothing. Anybody who has followed politics for the last 25 years has seen this coming. And if one suggested that we might have a problem they were marginalized. Thus we have the performative theater we call politics and American governance. Frankly the only chance we have of possibly correcting where we are headed if we stop this incessant tribal like nonsense and realize we are getting played by the power structure. People want opportunity and don’t want overbearing bureaucracy and stifling rules. That’s not left or right...that’s called freedom in America.

Exactly I agree 100% with what you’re saying. For a lot of folks it’s their way or the highway, lots of name calling and snark, which brings nobody to the table.
If there must be an us vs them, then let it be we the people vs government. I don’t see that happening.
Folks blame the media for trying to divide us, but the party is already fractured and has been for a few years now.
We are so divided, so entrenched in, as you say, tribalism, that it can make a person’s mind screwy just trying to comprehend the different view points in here and nobody is giving an inch.
