Political Identity and Polarization
How partisan identities calcify into hostile tribes whose policy positions become identity markers, not reasoned conclusions.
Political identity, once acquired, behaves like religious identity: positions harden into identity markers and self-correct toward group conformity.
The LHS Lens treats polarization as inherited-conditioning amplification: repeated co-stigmatization deepens the in-group/out-group comparison until policy substance is replaced by identity-driven verdicts.
