Thanks for the comment. I think your comparison of religious tribalism's decline with the increase of political tribalism's recent interest is a point. They could be directly related, actually. It seems that people have a tendency to want to stand for some ideology, whether it be political or theological. I'm not sure what can be done to prevent a civil war, but I don't think forcing people with drastically conflicting world views together is a good solution. Whether it be more patriotism like you suggest or something else. I'm just worried some bad shit is gonna go down.
