Why?
If I track Tribalism like you see in the Republicans versus Democrats there seems no real logic to it. However, if you add the incontrovertible truth of the end of the human race through Global Climate change you see Human extinction as the cause of the present Tribalism not just in the U.S. but also worldwide.
When some people confront death as a species they refuse to change and here we have the Republicans who double down on past behaviors that remind us more of World War II and Nuclear weapons more than anything else and the Cold war.
Then you have Democrats who tend to go in the direction of "Everything has to change so we can survive Global Warming!"
However, what is actually happening right now?
Trump is taking us back to around the 1950s in consciousness more than anything else and denying the facts of Global Climate change like an ostrich with his head in the sand.
But, this behavior is suicidal to not only him and his family but the entire human race.
So, Republican Tribalism results in human extinction.
Democratic Tribalism results in I'm not sure right now.
Because I don't believe at this point that you can stop Global Climate change no matter what you do. The only logical response from my point of view would be to begin to move underground because all buildings above ground made of wood will be blown down on earth by 2100. This is my point of view.
Global Warming means winds will increase 3 or 4 times what they are now by 2100 and most buildings cannot survive that, especially wooden ones and tall metal and glass ones. So, my thought is most buildings are going to blow down and there might not be anything useful that people can do about this at this point.
All trees and plants might blow away too by the way and most people might starve to death on earth because of this too. And the only way to travel on the oceans might be in submarines because of the disturbances to the surfaces of the ocean too.
So, tribalism like you see in Republicans and Democrats are both caused directly by Global Warming and the extreme reactions people have to things happening beyond their control.
Tribalism is a hunker down from danger response when people cannot make their minds up what to do just before they all die from an uncontrolled event or events.
So, Tribalism is the terror of the unknown and not wanting to change or not knowing how to change to survive.
But, when people start to die more and more, people will be forced to make up their minds in a more permanent way when everything is life or death every day in their lives.
Just look at the fires in Australia.
Expect more anomalies like Australia's forests burning down around the world. Expect almost anything to happen and you will be more prepared than others who just stick their heads in the sand like Trump and then lie to the people of the world like the whole State of the Union Speech last night.
No wonder Pelosi tore it up. There really was no truth to the speech at all. It was like listening to a Soviet Propaganda speech of the Cold War more than anything else.
It's not that I even think the Democrats have a solution to any of this. But, whatever it is it is better than Trump the ostrich with his head in the sand while lying to the people of America and the world while we all die slowly or quickly in horrible ways worldwide from Global Climate change.
You don't have to believe in something to be killed by it.
For example, if you stood in the middle of the road and decided not to believe in Cars and trucks you would just eventually be road kill and that's all.
The same will happen to the people who don't believe in Global Climate change too eventually.
One might not believe in Bears and crocodiles and hippos and Rhinos either but if you go into their territory (especially during mating season) and didn't believe they existed you might not survive them either.
So, yes, things you don't believe in can kill you.
And this becomes the problem of the 21st century in a nutshell.
