"The most dangerous threat in liberalism’s spiritual home comes from the Trumpian right. Populists denigrate liberal edifices such as science and the rule of law as façades for a plot by the deep state against the people. They subordinate facts and reason to tribal emotion. The enduring falsehood that the presidential election in 2020 was stolen points to where such impulses lead. If people cannot settle their differences using debate and trusted institutions, they resort to force.

I wonder whether "They subordinate facts and reason to tribal emotion" and "They submit facts and reason to tribal emotion" are interchangeable. To me, "submit" sounds stronger than "subordinate" and seems to be better suitable there. I am not sure.
What is your opinion?
