What's it mean to be tribally Right wing but not very Right ideologically?
I mean, particularly in the American context - to be tribally Right at the moment means you are more than likely living in an evidence free conspiracy world where only election fraud won the election for Biden, Trump remains the saviour of the common man, and Democrats want to destroy civil society. Not to mention disbelief in climate change, wearing masks for COVID, and not wanting to take a vaccine that would return the world to something more normal.
Who wants to be any part of how wrong that tribalism has gone?
And if you go to Britain - the populist Right led to Brexit, and who really thinks that is still looking a good idea?
I keep saying, but apparently cannot convince Jason Soon - the excesses of the Left in illiberal views on identity politics is pretty minor stuff compared to the crapfest the tribal Right has delivered.

I agree. At least the 'lefty' journos understand what journalism is whereas the tribal right people most certainly do not
