We've been living through changing times. It's not just Tibb who have been arguing, most of the World has.

This is true, tribalism has been on the rise for many years and has affected everywhere, but the problem specifically on here is that they tried to put the blinkers on to it like other social media did but TiBB was too small a forum to survive that. And it hasn’t.
I’d argue that it predates 2016 though, Trump at the end of the day is a symptom of that division and not the cause, that tribal division (and the dem’s over-confidence that their tribe had the numbers) is the reason he got into the whitehouse in the first place.
Anyway yea in short I agree it’s a problem across the entire western world certainly not just this forum, but this forum has handled it badly and probably wasn’t cut out to weather it in the first place.
