Finally, sectarianism usefully reframes the threat to democracy. We usually think about the risk to democracy in terms of authoritarianism. Sectarianism re-centers the threat on the varying dangers of a deeply divided citizenry. Many of those dangers appear in America today. — PolitiTweet.org

Even the 2016 primary is another example. If you thought about the conservative movement in terms of ideology, Trump didn't make so much sense. But he makes quite a bit of sense as a sectarian candidate who mobilized intergroup hostility and the sense of in-group threat — PolitiTweet.org

Mass sectarianism is bipartisan--your tweet is an example, oddly! But so far, elite sectarianization--the mobilization of sectarian attitudes for political purposes--is mainly on the right. That's in part, I'd posit, because they fear minority status https://t.co/ZsxeMxHUwb — PolitiTweet.org

@Nate_Cohn Why are you both-sidesing this? All the examples you cite are from the GOP!
