A situation where an individual is motivated to physically assault someone because they strongly disagree with the other person’s political views and or the victim’s political identity. It usually starts out as a verbal disagreement, which escalates to the point where one of the individuals involved in the incident physically attacks the other one and the situation turns into a full-blown fight. The attacker may have strong biases against certain populations, certain mental illnesses that have not been diagnosed and or are not being treated adequately, extreme political beliefs, and or political insanity.
When a political assault happens, it often draws the public and politician’s attention and they may quickly mobilize to address the issues that facilitated it to occur; depending on who the victim was, who the attacker was, what specific issue or bias motivated the attacker’s actions, the responses from the public officials, the victim, and or celebrities, and the circumstances leading up to the event.

A major political and social issue that arises when during election season, Republicans and Democrats have more access to the media, public relations professionals, and have more education and training on how to effectively campaign in political elections than nonmainstream political parties have, which results in the Republicans in Democrats winning more elections than nonmainstream political parties. Many members of the general public have been conditioned by the mainstream political parties to believe this is acceptable when in fact it is not. The best way to address this problem is actively work to ensure that nonmainstream political parties have more access to the media, p.r. professionals, and education on how to effectively run a political campaign.
The Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect has been around for many years and over time has had a very heavy, negative impact on the political diversity found in governments in all levels of jurisdiction all over the U.S.

1: A phrase used to refer to how a specific political ideology or the beliefs of a particular political party has changed over time
An example of political evolution would be the Republican’s views on environmental issues. In the past, Republicans used to take a more aggressive approach by actively making policies and laws that would protect the environment from harm as you can observe based on the work done by U.S. President Richard Nixon. As time passed, as demonstrated by the work of U.S. President Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan, Republicans shifted to strongly favoring deregulation and eliminating or weakening environmental protections.

"Bro Karen called me racist for laughing at a Pepe meme."

An unaffiliated individual, neither Conservative nor Liberal, who acknowledges the hypocrisy of both or all parties, and gets chewed out by pointing their own flaws they refuse to acknowledge.
Liberal and Conservative thoughts: Pfft. Political Observer? They're just a Liberal/Conservative staying in the closet.
