Basically:

"My tribe good. Your tribe bad. Me no like tribes mixing. Me scared, now me angry". 

These aren't particularily intellectual pillars, they are part of the primitive human mind. Our cousins, the chimpanzees, operate on this logic too. It's nothing special, requiring any particular rational intellectual thought. We think we're so smart and different. 

basically what you are doing with conservatives btw

I'm not asking for conservatives to be deported all pushing an agenda where all conservatives are evil because some of them break the law (I'm sure there are many that do). 

Nor do I deny our primitive animal heritage. Tribalism all stems from that, there's nothing magical or fancy about it. That story is really "tale as old as time". We dress it up today with fancy clothes and claim it's intellectual and blah, blah, blah, but it's just a bunch of monkeys who are afraid of each other. That's really the root of the issue when you deconstruct it and it repeats over and over and over and over again in human history and will continue to do so for a good deal longer. Our basic instincts in many cases are not noble at all, while we can be altruistic, we can also equally be selfish little shits. It's the human condition for better or worse.
