Quick test to determine whether you're tribal: Did you secretly hope that Trump's talks with Kim would go badly wrong and make him look like a twit? If yes, the chances are you're tribal. If no, you might not be. (You probably still are though).

That’s still assuming that there are such people, for which you have no evidence (unless you are one). And given the high concentration of anti-Trump people in cities that are likely nuclear targets, appealing to common human flaws still wouldn’t make their existence likely.
And you're assuming there are not - and there will be. (Though, of course, in such cases, there's probably a great deal of cognitive dissonance). Are you denying many on the left in the UK were hoping for a disaster in Falklands conflict despite the fact it would empower fascism?

I don’t know enough about the British left during my teen years. But that’s a very different situation: fighting a war for a distant and sparsely populated territory vs. diplomatic talks with a potentially dangerous enemy.

Yeah, that's fair enough, but it was an illustration of the more general tendency. Which country, by the way? Were you brought up in?
-
Croatia, then part of Yugoslavia.
