I think one can view things through kayfabe lenses even if the parties are not consciously working together to achieve something: for example, in a wrestling match, the visuals are of "which of the two is strongest" but the reality is that the conflict is artificially created for the purpose of your entertainment. In politics the visuals are of "which policy is better" for a given topic, but the reality is more one of politicians acting in self-interest in a highly tribal environment.
