Do we sense tribalism in ourselves and try to fight it?
Sociologists say that we illogically believe and support notions aligned with ours and discount opposing views with bias.
I'm definitely a lefty and find myself doing this, but I also fight it. I have been asking my right leaning friends the same question and not hearing concurrence. So I thought I would pose the question here.
