      I'm beginning to think that reactionary politics (from any faction, not just right wingers) is the norm in America and that trying to argue for reason and moderation is a lost cause in this country

      the political spectrum is a dead abstraction. we're no longer there. left/right is meaningless. the authoritarian vs. libertarian axis is still meaningful but deeply flawed and inadequate simply because an Imperium is authoritarian by default.

      trying to map policy preferences to a point in political space is a fool's errand. people aren't consistent (w.r.t ideological platforms) with their preferences AND preference falsification for social status positioning is the norm.

      Yeah, this is more or less true. Most people whose opinions I respect (YMMV) agree that US politics started collapsing precipitously under Reagan. Even watching old TV debates with NIXON of all people is a completely different experience.

      People easily forget that loose terms like left and right meann "coalitions along certain lines", making ideas within that paradigm completely useless except as pertains to political bodies. But most people use them about *people*, which is complete idiocy.

      this is a keen observation. what you're pointing to is ideological possession, which is an unholy terror in my opinion. a very nasty, violence-prone variant of fundamental attribution error.

      Mmh. It's like if you criticized the cooking at a restaurant and someone responded "WELL YOU'RE NOT A GREAT COOK, EITHER". Complete distortion.

      I think it's fair to blame the left and right alike for working so hard to brainwash people into this dumbass tribalism. Not to imply that people don't think that way by default, but the propaganda is pervasive.

      it's ridiculously easy to get people to align tribally based on ethnic/racial terms. it's no accident that both parties have swung hard into identitarian messaging.

          Or any other terms you care to mention, really. It's more arbitrary than we give it credit for. "THEY, THEY are obsessed with identity politics. Not us!" - 0 irony detected
