Mr. Sinton - I don't know how I got on your email list. Anyway, I think you're missing an essential piece of the puzzle - who and what is causing the tribalism.

I fully agree that tribalism is a problem. But simply calling for us to come together without examining why it has gotten this bad is like pissing in the wind.

The truth is that one side has made a deliberate strategy of promoting tribalism and division, thereby exacerbating a problem that was already present. You, yourself, implicitly identify the bad actor. But to spell it out, one side falsely believes the other is a threat to democracy because of the lies it has been told. The other side believes the other is a threat to democracy, because it genuinely is a threat.

Do you have a plan, a mechanism to do that?
