American Tribalism.

I'll try to rephrase it then. In the most recent presidential election. Why do you feel the need to self label as one thing or the other? What was your "strong opinion" based on and how did it align with your tribe?

For example on the right we have "party outsider" supporters and "establishment (republican/conservative)" supporters and "no Trump" supporters.

On the left we have "Burnie or Bust" supporters and "No matter who vote Blue.(democrat)" supporters.

There are others but these are the most well know. Why do you think people self identify this way, or why do you identify this way?

P.S. Fear was a totally legit reason. I didn't mean to ask and call attention to it other then as a data point.
