The convention is if it helps my (perceived) tribe, good, and if it hurts the other tribe, good.
- neilv 3y agoI thought that was fairly recent US politics, of the last decade or so. Is that longer-term Texas values?
- lotsofpulp 3y agoIt has nothing to do with the US or Texas. Just human nature. People express conflicting thoughts, ideas, or actions because it benefits them. In fact, a little bit of inconsistency to benefit your tribe is a good signal to others in the tribe that you are willing to break rules to benefit yourself and/or whichever tribe you might find yourself in.
