I think the headstrong tribalism has been around forever. The difference is that now it's being headstrong about matters that are both life & death and unavoidable in daily life. Somebody the vehemently believes that the rapture is coming and the Earth is 3,000 years old rarely gets a reason to punch anyone over such beliefs. Trump publicly announcing that he got a booster made me respect him more. He could have (and politically should have) kept silent.
