There is, however, a feedback loop. Those candidates weren't as antagonistic or openly immoral as Trump. The tribalism drives us to support more tribalistic politicians, who naturally aggravate the tribalism further, and so on.
- HDMI_Cable 6y agoThat depends on your definition of immoral however. Depending on your stances to things like the wars in Iraq and the Military Industrial Complex, politicians like McCain and Romney can seem like pure devils, while Trump seems rather tame. And to be fair, it does seem like that tribalism feedback loop is ending, as the Democrats have gone for a relatively tame candidate, meanwhile moderate Republicans have already moved away from Trump. So, it seems like this whole populism thing will (hopefully) be a 4-year experiment.
