political identity
Ideological tribal membership
Political identity is a sense of self derived from political beliefs, party affiliation, or ideology.
It shapes how people interpret events, choose friends, and consume media.
Unlike mere political opinions, political identity becomes part of who someone *is*: Her political identity as a progressive influenced everything from her diet to her dating life.
In polarized environments, political identity can rival religion or ethnicity as a primary social marker.
