I think there is a lot of overlap between politics and ideology, and an increasing amount of overlap between ideology and emotion.
I think it's fair to call me out for skipping a step, but I wasn't using it to mean "idea I don't agree with".

What is politics without ideology?
Power struggle. Lying about manager from other team so that you look better. That sort of thing is regularly called politics.
