We're not all like this. Most don't wear political clothes or put political signs in their yards or on their homes. Most people don't wear their political beliefs on their sleeves. Most don't worship politicians. Most don't form identities with political figures. Many actually fucking hate talking about politics. But the thing is, we have a two party system. This puts us into these odd "us vs them" scenarios where many people treat political parties like teams and have to win at all costs. The American political complex is one that will be studied in future generations, showcasing where we went wrong. 

 Fair point Thanks for adding nuance here
