What seems to me to be "true, empirically" is the fact that human beings operate within fantastical structures known as "belief systems" and that political positions are maintained by some of the most dissonance-avoidant mechanisms known to man. IMO, to have an idea that one tribe does this more than another one is at best simply self-serving - especially for those who rightly comprehend the absence of anything resembling "objective reality."
