  Agreed - the accusation of tribalism may be unfairly over-applied in many cases, like most political criticisms, but, also like many political criticisms, it is extrapolated from an opinion that is more reasonable (regardless of whether it is definitely true), which is that conservatives have, on par, too much party loyalty, and liberals have, on par, too little party loyalty.

    > and liberals have, on par, too little party loyalty. My knee-jerk reaction is "this is a good thing", but this is wrong. The left's lack of party loyalty costs us elections. The farther left hates the "Vote blue no matter who" mantra, which allowed Trump to win 2016. The right votes red no matter what because they think every democrat is a socialist.
