#1 A couple decades after the Left pushed identity politics, its a little too late. It's war. You may not like it, but its here. Pick your tribe. The largest one still is the American one.

#2 Washington was right__ the biggest threat to the Republic is factionalism, an endemic disease of democracies. c.f. Ancient Athens and Rome.

#3 Yeah, the way things have been going, tribalism is becoming the rational choice.

If several groups unite around a tribal identity, while one group remains diffuse and disorganized because tribalism is icky, what will likely happen to the latter?

I get the feeling that all this handwringing over tribalism is happening because the rubes and normies are finally getting in on the action.

It was OK when it was just the usual suspects designated victim groups; but it's simply unacceptable when the people who actually enable this society to function start to do it.

#4 Protected by a complicit national government, the conflict has always been there, just below the surface. Trump has exposed the bastards for what they are, and the fight is on.

#5 Camps on US soil would be a yuge mistake. I give you the 'current day' liberal exploitation of Japanese internment camps of WWII as an example.
