Additionally, it's got almost nothing to do with ideas anymore. It's about tribes.

If you're in tribe A, your media tells you tribe B are literally devils. There's no understanding a devil, or compromise with one. If they say something that sounds reasonable? It's probably a trick. Hannity or Maddow will explain why tonight.

Downvoted pretty heavily, though. Guess it's a threatening message :)
