I'd hate to have to explain to my child one day that in college, I rallied in support of a man who shielded a child molester.

@emptywheel I can think of few laypeople who acted in an analagous manner there tho -
@AdamSerwer To me, it's the kind of tribalism that allows a person to dissociate from the tribe's crimes to maintain the tribe's strength. -
@emptywheel yeah but even then faith ties make more sense to me as having that kind of pull than where you went to college -
@AdamSerwer You went to 2 schools notorious for lacking kind of rabid spirit. In other schools it IS faith. Tied to identity in same way. -
@emptywheel well I'm also a lefty and my tribalism is limited by my values. It's not that I don't have it. -
@AdamSerwer Just saying you didn't experience what rabid school spirit is like--even at places like Amherst and U Michigan. - 1 more reply
