Quote:Coupled with the desire of most people to identify with a person or political party. Tribalism has become an increasingly substantial force in this nation over the last two decades. I write this as a watch a report on TV about Trump supporters and anti-Trump demonstrators clash in the streets. Get a grip, people.

Yep. It's like people need to belong to something to feel relevant and it's mutated to what we're seeing now. As humans we're wired to belong but man..... it has come to a point where everything and everyone has to be labelled something to be valid, and on top of that if one group doesn't agree with another group for any reason they are automatically the enemy and attack. This country has always been divided to a degree as Solid Snake pointed out, but it has really ramped up over the past couple of decades as you said and it's getting freaky.
