According to the study called “Hidden Tribes: A Study in the America’s Polarized Landscape” (by the international group More in Common), experts concluded Americans can be placed into one of seven categories based on their beliefs. From far left to far right, there are progressive activists, traditional liberals, passive liberals, the politically disengaged, moderates, traditional conservatives and devoted conservatives. While the percentages for each extreme left and right are small, 25 percent of Americans consider themselves traditional or devoted conservatives.
The largest group is the politically disengaged, making up 26 percent of all voters. A statistic that a full 80 percent of Americans believe is that political correctness has become a problem in our country. The report supports that Americans are generally more moderate than most think, with two-thirds of Americans being in the middle and labeled as the “exhausted majority.” This group encompasses moderates to passive liberals, and they collectively claim to be tired of tribal politics, political correctness, fatigued by the national conversation and feel left out.
