It is in many ways a tribal signifier, and you’re going to get different stories about what a tribe is like from its members and from its enemies. It’s not that different from “Democrat” or “Republican” in that sense, although at least both Democrats and Republicans usually agree on who is a Democrat and who is a Republican.
