Answer:

Cognitive dissonance.

Explanation:

Based on this scenario, Sam is experiencing cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance describes Sam's feelings regarding Joann. He really likes her but he is not sure to be with her in a long-term relationship, because there is a conflict between two aspects of his feelings for her and his political ideas that are so different.
