Driving next to someone in a worse car than yours. You are leaning to the side relaxed. A lot of sidin' happens at side shows.

This is when you show out and walk all slow because you be bustin' in a new sweatsedo that you done stole from the nail salon
"Did you see Diabolique high sidin' in the fifth ward?"
"Yeah, I saw that heffer trying to be all that in her new Tracy McGrady jersey she done made into a dress, but the pigeon had finger-waves like it was 1991 and she was up in the Ghetto Boys video, that busted up chicken."

Taking a side on an entire topic (esp. political or religious), instead of rationally choosing the best combination of choices for one’s goals. Usually done by people that make a religion out of everything because they are not only unable to think it through, but unable to even become aware of that flaw.
The louder they’re sidin’, the more they are triggered, and the less of a clue they have.
Approaching them with logic and reality will only lead to self-defeat. (Ex. 1)
The ideal approach is to have a purely emotional conversation, treat them like four year old toddlers of a friend, without being condescending, be understanding without having to agree(!), gain their trust so they listen, find the origin of their fears (/triggers) and their wishes, and offer a separate path towards what’s attractive and away from what’s frightening to them. Only works if you let them keep/grow their self-respect, and let them do it on their own free will.
Easier said than done… obviously.
Also abused by wannabe dictators, to divide people and conquer them. (Ex. 2)
Can be seen in American politics, or any country, was the favorite strategy of Hermann Göring, but probably is as old as communication.
Ideally combined with a hopeful message that promises pride. (See: Hitler’s speeches.)
Turning enemies into friends as above also is at least as old as ancient China, as it was mentioned by Sun Tsu, IIRC.
