No. Evolutionary in the sense that belonging to a group (even in today's world) increases chances of survival. It may also increase a sense of well-being. We are not very far along evolutionarily speaking.
I would agree that it's citizens versus the political power structure. As such, the "us versus them" relative to political parties is intellectually lazy.

...and it's really sad
It's not realistic to be 100% aligned with any one person or party imo.

It's natural and normal.

It's why one pack of chimps kill chimps from another pack. Someone's gonna get the banana. You either control your own destiny or have it controlled. Humans fear the the latter.

evolution created a very strong in/out group bias in our brains
with government, we're also talking about the ultimate earthly authority over us, so we become very opinionated. some people are willing to be slaves in certain areas but not others (and vice versa). so we have groups dedicated to securing the power we want and trying to eliminate those who want power over areas we refuse to cede

This. Twitter and the 24hr news channels have destroyed any level of civil discourse we may have had.

2 reasons
1. Greed: poor people want to steal from the rich
2. Tribal homogenization instinct: humans have a genetic need to force full assimilation into the 'clan' to insure harmony and survival.
All revolutions, wars, upheavals, or whatever can be traced to one of these two motives. Destroy what is not like you and take from others who have more. Both basic survival instincts.
Live and let live is just not human nature.

I don't really notice this on my day to day interactions in "society". Where do you do so?

It's not just poors. There are leeches at every income level, from Sharon Jasper to Sandra Fluke to Angelo Mozilo.

Personally? I don't experience it too much. People generally reap what they sew.
It's mostly seen in the media and here, like I mentioned in my post.

It's strange that the people who have very little are called greedy by the people who have much more than them.

Here it is folks- simply "having" proves greed. And those who don't have can't be greedy. Unreal....
