The Tribal Election | Patreon

Political tribalism really does break people s brains – Elon Musk

A feeling I ve been keeping mostly to myself: this doesn t seem like an election year to me. I just don t see 2024 as a presidential election. I really don t know what this is, and lack the language to describe it. Anyone else feeling like you don t know what we re watching? – Eric Weinstein

America s 2024 election is the first presidential election dominated by networked tribes.

• People aren t choosing candidates; they’re selecting a tribe.

• People aren t voting for their tribe; they are voting against the other tribe (both candidates/parties/tribes have higher negatives than positives).

• People aren t debating competing policies and programs; they re talking past each other about the threat posed by the opposing tribe.

There s a lot at work here. Let s dig into it, one step at a time.
