I mean this is pretty basic stuff
The animals seem to get it
Why don't we?

There's interesting research on altruism among wolves. Explains it better than I did. 😉 🐺 🧡

You're talking about highly evolved behavioral characteristics

I'm talking about basic 'common' sense

We fail to understand who the enemy is and that there are more of us than them, and that they can be defeated

What is the problem with the human brain? (rhetorical)

I get it & agree. Use of 'evolution' slipped me into scientist mode, where 'common' sense is suspect. It's my training. There ARE more of us (if we're talking about the same them) and that's why Democracy matters. 🇺🇸 also has a Bill of Rights to protect the few from mob rule.

I think natural selection and descent modification definitely apply, if you're talking Darwin

I just personally can't understand how so many Americans supported Trump

I choose to believe that Musk electronically hacked the election and we'll probably never know how
