Ideological segregation refers to the separation of individuals or groups based on their political or ideological beliefs. It can manifest in various ways, such as people choosing to live in communities or neighborhoods where they are surrounded by like-minded individuals, or voluntarily associating only with others who share similar political views. This separation can lead to echo chambers, where individuals are only exposed to information and opinions that reinforce their existing beliefs, and can result in increased polarization and a lack of understanding or empathy for opposing viewpoints.
