On a surface level, yes, tribalism is easy to fall into and it's important to examine your biases and reflect on your beliefs. Having done that though, it becomes clear that the Republicans are in fact stupid and ridiculous. It's easy to see that their talking points are the results of ignorance and fascist propaganda and not much else. There are underlying reasons for that of course, fascist propaganda heightens feelings of fear, anger, and resentment, and appeals to people who feel aggrieved, especially about the loss of stability, privilege, or an imagined better past. We can't do away with standards and values. We can't allow our minds to be so open that our brains fall out. Republicans do measurably, objectively far more harm.
