The question is whether you are sorting by ideology or sorting by tribe. You can't sort one side by ideology and the other by tribe if you are trying to be consistent. If conservatives are "whoever shows up at the meetings," then the other side is, too.

Please take your complaint up with people who “sort by tribe.”

You...really....expect me to believe you've never treated conservatives as bearing any responsibility for association with people who do not share conservative ideology, but who associate with Republican politicians or infiltrate conservative movement orgs? Really?

I have literally years of writing on God’s green internet so feel free to show me an example of when I attacked conservatives on the basis of “tribal association” versus an actual statement or argument.
