Political believers are willing to overlook any possible disagreements on public policy matters.

They simply follow the party line because their identity dictates that it becomes paramount for them to keep the other side from winning.

Shanto Iyengar warns that a lack of flexibility can settle into partisan views, even at great potential cost.

Political science professor Ken Wald agrees with Iyengar that personality identity drives the march toward partisanship.

Wald credited much of the current decline of religion in the United States to age factors, with younger people failing to follow their elders’ path to religion once the latter dies.

Wald concluded that all too often, voting comes down to feelings over analysis, as in religion.
