America's Problem Isn't Tribalism—It's Racism
Only one of America’s major political parties relies on stoking hatred and fear against those outside its coalition.

From the Atlantic article cited by Chicks:

In the fallout from Tuesday’s midterm elections, many political analysts have concluded that blue America and red America are ever more divided, ever more at each other’s throats. But calling this “tribalism” is misleading, because only one side of this divide remotely resembles a coalition based on ethnic and religious lines, and only one side has committed itself to a political strategy that relies on stoking hatred and fear of the other. By diagnosing America’s problem as tribalism, chin-stroking pundits and their sorrowful semi-Trumpist counterparts in Congress have hidden the actual problem in American politics behind a weird euphemism.

The 'false equivalence' view of the parties does not stand up to scrutiny.

The Man Who Broke Politics
Newt Gingrich turned partisan battles into bloodsport, wrecked Congress, and paved the way for Trump’s rise. Now he’s reveling in his achievements.

Great read for anyone, but especially for those who still identify as Republican, as disgusting as that is these days.

Defeated GOP congressman blames McCain for House flipping

This would be laughable if it weren’t so despicable. This is the guy who complained about not being able to call women “sluts”. Donny must love this slimeball.
