Regular non-angry, non-puritiy-testing liberals who punch a straight-D ballot every four years and go home.
lmao if you don't think regular "non-angry" liberals aren't all the gently caress about purity testing. They just have their purity testing backed by institutional dominance that let's them silence any sort of divergence more quietly.

I guess the main difference is that as long is that they don't care about purity of thought, only action - you can think whatever you want so long as you don't bring it up in polite company.

Liberals have opposed and fought against racial integration and labour rights for the last 30 to 40 years as being uncivil and unpragmatic.

In hindsight, perhaps this was a bad strategy, even if it did give them a really solid voting block among black pepple.

Also the bit about Trump voters being over the median wage on average is kind of garbage, because the only voters that matter to a discussion like this are the ones on the margins. Also the median wage is so loving low that its not surprising that those with the burdens of money but who arent making enough for any sort of financial security and who have probably hit the ceiling of their earning potential and who only see a future things get worse for them would be the ones desperately voting for Trump.

This won't work and you're a moron. Tribalism needs an enemy, and that enemy is always present both inside and outside. Tribalism can't stay, it can and has to go.

You're wrong at least four times in one line. That's almost impressive - if you hadn't previously failed to understand why someone would ever pick an option you gave them on a three-answer question where you only added the third answer to be obviously wrong despite it being morally the only choice, this would have been enough to convince me you just straight up don't understand people (but since you did, I already knew that).

It would work.
He's not a moron (maybe, at least about this)
Tribalism doesn't actually need an enemy (it helps, but it's not required - but other things can serve the unifying purpose as well)
Tribalism can't "go", at least until you start creating humans in a factory and leave out chunks of their brain. And a tribeless human would probably be way fuckin' worse that's basically a sociopath.
