Schismogenesis describes how one group's behavior provokes contrasting reactions from another, leading to cultural differentiation. Historical examples include the Athenian-Spartan rivalry and the Cold War, with contemporary parallels in U.S. politics where polarization drives opposing sides to extreme positions.

This environment fosters negative partisanship, where voters may support less competent candidates simply to oppose the other side. The cycle of mutual aggravation in American politics reflects a broader trend of hyperpolarization affecting societal dynamics. #politics
