American Tribalism.
#1
American Tribalism.
If we can for a moment ignore our own candidate preference: Let me be clear, we are not talking about individual candidates or their statements or any campaigning they have done. That's out of bounds to my question and if you advocate or antagonize for one candidate or the other that's unrelated, unhelpful and I would hope a mod or something would help us all out in that regard.

My Question:

During this presidential campaign where most folks seem to care and some folks come out for a candidate that otherwise hadn't been involved, why is it so divisive? 

In other-words why do you feel or observe the preference to "tribe up" with a stance? Liberal, progressive, conservative, moderate, democrat, republican, conservative?
