Person 1: It is hard tell what is really happened in regards to whether or not Russia intelligence hacked into the U.S. election in order to manipulate the results.
Person 2: It is still hard tell what happened even today because of how the politicians and society responded. The political sandstorm related to that issue will likely not wear off for quite some time.

An approach used by individuals who have very strong political beliefs for forming and maintaining their social circles. Basically, an individual will only be friends with people who are the same political identity and beliefs as them. The same holds true often times when they are deciding whether or not to date a particular person. This approach often causes the people who use to have a very strong political favoritism towards a specific political party and or political ideology. In some cases, they develop a strong intolerance for other political ideologies and parties, which sometimes can lead to unnecessary violence towards other individuals and societal groups who they perceive as having a different political ideology then their own.
Kelsey: Am I the only one that think its odd that all of Chuck's friends are Republicans?
Anna: Yes, I noticed that too. Its kind of strange if you ask me.
Emily: He is probably using the Political Alignment Association Approach when dealing with his social circle, because I know he is a very far right Republican and he does not seem to like me due to the fact I support feminism.
Anna: You should be careful Kelsey. If Chuck finds out you're a Democrat, he may start a yelling match or worse. He has had a history of violence in the past.
Kelsey: I'll keep that in mind.
