I will first briefly introduce the development history of the micro-scale governing equations for opinion dynamics, and then present a refined model based on empirical data and related studies. The model is then applied to study the patterns of the opinion distributions in the US Congress using 154 years of recorded data. The talk tries to answer the following two questions: What drives the separation and reunion of ideologies in the U.S. political system? Is there a relationship between partisan polarization and critical historical events?
