Process by which one group tries to gain the whip hand over the other. War with less violence essentially. The participants in politics are hopelessly naive about their own side while unfairly cynical about the other side. Political thinking goes as follows: "We're for value X so we support policy A, the other side oppose policy A therefore they hate value X and are Nazis/communists/insert other group of extremists here." One of the signs that someone has been doing politics is that they assume everyone in their group is more moderate than they really are while thinking that the opposing group is more extreme than they really are.
