related thought on this there is a ton of center left garment rending about how to get people who are not blue tribe to adopt some blue tribe norms "why arent they getting vaccinated" "whats the matter with kansas" "why are they going to church instead of becoming vegans" etchttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1418232108640739328 …

this is interesting wonder how much you might frame a blue / red divide primarily as "memeplex transmitted horizontally" vs "memeplex transmitted vertically" if you're pwned by the former you fret about strangers, if the latter you fret about your kidshttps://twitter.com/lordcataplanga/status/1418274942710337541?s=19 …

not being progressive means there's no hope or expectation that such people will ever change

my guess is one side fears the other for being different whereas the opposite side fears the other for being the same

The traditional answer: Blue Tribe thinks its views follow from reason alone, so it can't explain how the other side is recognizably human yet disagrees Red Tribe thinks its views follow from an education in virtue, so it has an explanation: those people were raised wrong
-
I don't think this is quite right but I do think it has something to do with different attitudes towards education, to a first approximation Blue Tribe = think public school is Important, Red Tribe = at best indifferent towards it
