The Western Buddhist meme of not engaging in political discourse is total horseshit.

Fair point, but I'd imagine that lessening tribalism in this country would make it easier for the dharma to penetrate the masses.

Engage authentically with people who are outside of your tribe. Try to understand them. Share with people the news that tribalism is optional.

that would require a heck of a lot of people who can calmly and compassionately communicate with people outside their tribe. how does one amass such a tribe of compassionate communicators?

That's a great koan. I don't know the answer to that, but I'm pretty sure the answer isn't more tribalism. I think the people who are capable of communicating calmly and compassionately should do so. Maybe this helps people see that it's in fact possible to engage in such a way.
