Relatable! One of my attempts to solve the problem is going to the object level eg donations and running matches for donations to organizations working on problems I want to help alleviate, instead of the ideological level

1 of 3 Partisanship is easy. It’s the quest for tribal power through political and rhetorical skill unto the sacrifice of all else. Ideological is easy. It’s the maintenance of established philosophical dogma unto the point of cognitive dissonance at the margin of madness.

2 of 3 Both are fraught with personal and social peril, so neither should be pursued. But that is not to say that a tribe is not worth supporting, nor is it to say that a long-cherished belief – even one blindly held in the past – does not contain wisdom and truth.
