It's unsettling. It seems like there is an increasing number of people who simply adopt the narrative for their team, and assume all others do the same. Anyone who disagrees with that narrative must be a member of the opposite team. If presented with evidence that goes against their narrative, the response is usually that it doesn't matter. If they completely flip to the opposite position on an issue, the response is often that both their earlier position was correct and that their new position is also correct.

A wonderful thing about nuance is that this is often ok. Sometimes, their actual earlier position and new position are consistent. But will anyone listen if they try to explain why? Usually not.
