    A friend notes that politics has begun to feel like an arena where many people can process and regulate their emotional turmoil indirectly.

But political tribalism becomes a mechanism with which people can shore themselves up, vanquish shame, fight for righteousness and find a sense of belonging. That's rich, coming from the queen princess of TDS hysteria.

    @george-k Interesting read. Lots of knee jerk reactions around.... in the media (they love the headlines that attract eye balls) and in the government/policy world.
