Well.. who go around reinforcing team allegiances, not people who talk politics. That's a pretty big distinction imo.

That's some US cultural thing, i think. Possibly because you only have two real political options.
If we're philosophising, the isolated suburb life style precludes having a friend group and forces humans - because they need to belong - into tribal allegiances towards larger groups: political, sports fans, some church, Rust, "AI"...
It's a human thing. In Rome it was chariot teams. Suburbia isn't to blame.
