Whatever you want to call it, it's clear that the left and right disagree about actual objective facts, not merely goals or their policy agenda, and that these disagreements drive (and are driven by — the causality can run in multiple directions) political support and decision-making. Right now there's a big debate about whether there was widespread fraud in our recent election (though I would be remiss not to point out that there doesn't seem to be any credible evidence for that). That's a politicized factual dispute, the adjudication of which (by which I don't merely mean in courts or the Electoral College or what-have-you, but also in the public's perception) will have fairly profound real-world consequences for some years to come. That is one of many recent examples of these sorts of politicized factual disputes.
