OK, this is what I expected.
There is the Repuke v Dimcrat fight.
Not long ago Dems and Reps were friends and had drinks together at the local bar. That is all long gone due to Group identity politics and tribalism. How is that working? It turns out both sides have good and bad things and if a conversation without acrimony tribalism could happen a lot of things could get done.
There is the attempt by the rich to hold onto dominance, and the money that comes from that.
The poor will still be poor if we kill all the rich people and take their money. You don't fix poverty by giving fish to the poor. You get rid of poverty by teaching the poor how to fish. Furthermore, poverty is the normal state of most humans throughout history. We should try to figure out what causes wealth rather than poverty.
There is the old versus young fight.
Teen rebellion is often good, but the old guard often has a lot of wisdom that has worked through the ages. This is an extreme tribal position.
There is the fury of women scorned that Trump brought down on us.
My wife is a feminists and she does not live her life according to what Trump said or did not say. Women have made massive gains and are leaving men behind. And yet a segment of feminism complains more than ever. Men are the minority in college, get low grades in high school, kill themselves more often, and lead the world in incarceration and mental hospitals. Over 90% of deaths at work are men.
There is the struggle by Blacks to be treated like human beings, and as citizens.
Blacks are treated like anyone else. However, you cannot eliminate individual racism. No one has the ability to control the mind of racists. Nevertheless, the achievements of blacks continue to go up at a very rapid rate. It only took 53 years from the Rosa parks incident to the election of Obama. That is what I call massive progress!
Do you have any idea how politics works???
It is not about group ID politics or tribalism.
