absolutely. Look at politics today. For so many of us, voting for the other side means you are a terrible, stupid person. If everyone is right, we are all terrible, stupid people :) Go to any Reddit political thread to see it in real time.
I admit to doing it myself in the past (in real life, not Reddit).
I have tried to move past it but still find myself falling into that trap.
I have lately tried to approach issues from an assumption that both sides are probably right, they are just focused on different aspects of the same issue. Similar to the elephant and blind men analogy. In our case though the blind men are very aggressive.
I'd give a political example but don't want to deal with the downvotes :)
