    Conservatives value in-group solidarity more than almost anything else. That’s like their defining characteristic.

    Incidentally, that’s almost always characteristic of a bad person. The antithesis of “love your neighbor”, for example.

      It’s also why they’re winning, we have no solidarity on our side

        Your comment reminded me of a book a read a long time ago about the psychology of politics. There was a whole chapter about how Republicans find I easier to all agree with each other.
