You're right about how they view their "tribe". I think it's interesting how tribalism unfolds though. At times you have ostracization (RINO, sects, gatekeeping). But sometimes it's staunch defense. You could see this in real time after January 6th when people couldn't decide if the insurrectionists were ANTIFA or patriots. It's just interesting when it goes one way or the other. Hell, in 2016 Trump went from the crazy guy in the room to the core of the party.
