I've never understood why people (republicans) are so insecure about their political leanings. I mean, I suppose they KNOW that their political leanings are fucked up and shouldn't be supported, so they don't want to bring it up in company. But that's just more incentive to drag them into the open.

This is a dumb take

Knowing people will think your take is fucked up and having a fucked up take are not the same thing.

It's like how gay people stay in the closet because they know people will abuse and discrimiate them if they knew.

No it's not?

Do you like boobs?

Ok, now imagine you lived in a society where over a hundred millions people thought liking boobs was fucking weird/gross and made you a freak.

Most of these people are your co-workers, family, neighbors.

Would you tell them that you like boobs in this setting?

Does that mean liking boobs makes YOU weird? Or just demonstrate a problem in society?

To a lot of people saying "I'm a conservative" is like saying "I like eating my girlfriend's poop." so they don't say it.

Ideally governments would be liberal and conservative perscriptively. I guess that's kind of ad hoc but it would be nice if you could actually build a full 15 year conservative or liberal programme in the same way the UN does development goals

They absolutely do behave like that. Tribalism is rampant through our political system.

We got so much shit like this for the Democrats

https://youtu.be/trJc_t_AqVY

And for the Republicans, they had so much 1984 and patriotism bullshit.

If you're on the same team, you're right. You think for yourself. You have a good heart.

to represent serious traction towards free college and free healthcare and UBI? Hmmm good question. The more the merrier. Before we start seeing meaningful change? Probably 50? 100?

Regular people being unemployed yet still taken care of = immense growth of class consciousness. Thats why the GOP machine is afraid. It doesnt want more AOCs

Tribalism isn't limited to cults. It's the us vs them mentality. There's been tons of studies about it, and it affects all of us. Anything from sports teams, to cities, to race, and to political parties.

When you have groups demonizing the others and propping up your group, it's tribalism.
