As someone who moved to the US in their teens, American life reminds me football teams. These similar "fan like" group attachments branch out into so many aspects of American life.

It's one side vs. the other. We're better they're worse. One side must be good, one side must be bad. Like interviewing an Arsenal fan and a Chelsea fan about each other.

I honestly don't even know if these groups could possibly put aside their differences to see themselves as all Americans. It seems like everyone is in the mindset of "I'm Team A", "I'm Team B", etc. rather than all part of the same whole.

Not just America, it's like that here in the UK, albeit not quite to the same extent, as far as I can tell. I get the impression that this is quite common, at least in other western democracies.

For the tribeless among us the hyper partisanship is also very evident.
