It's rooted in classism and in a special breed of expressively-aggressive individualism. Self-identification and self-expression is paramount. You are forced to identify as a member of many different groups and outwardly express your thoughts and opinions.
- ttfkam 5y agoThere are Democrats elected to office that are publicly anti-abortion, pro-coal, etc. Can you name any GOP who are pro-choice, anti-coal, etc. I mean, they're getting called out for saying the election was fair and that 1/6 was an insurrection rather than tourists. There is definitely tribalism on all sides, but there is a marked cultish aspect to one faction, cult of personality batteries included.
- hunterb123 5y agoNot too long ago there were hardly any Democrats that were pro-abortion either, or even pro gay marriage. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are pro-abortion Republicans. There's a lot to unpack in the rest of your comment I'm not going to get into as it's ironically pretty tribalistic.
