Watching the blind loyalty to political parties is like watching some kind of tribalism in action. Very sheep-like behavior.

I think the problem with this situation is the Right used it as a political football for election year politics. This puts the left on defense, because they have to defend against the attacks from the right.

You can't really blame the left for defending it's self. It's like killing someone because they tried to kill you. It's doesn't make you a murderer. The guy that started shooting first is to blame. Nine out of 10 times it's usually the Right that fires first.
