A type of social bias where an individual develops an intolerance for certain people based on their political ideology and or political identity. This often starts by an individual thinking the political identity and or ideology they have is superior to the others. It tends to be quite prevalent in the U.S. government these days, which helps to facilitate large amounts of bipartisan bickering over whether or not to respond to it and how to respond. As a result, it often impedes their ability to effectively mobilize on various issues. In society, it causes people to commit various types of crimes and disrespect people who hold different views then they do.
