I am simply saying that this is why we are having such a problem right now. When we come from a place like this, there is no room for working across the aisle.
The question is not really whether one side has a "monopoly" though. Nor whether "both sides do it."
The question is whether one side has been primarily driving the language and the "us vs them" framing that you singled out.
And that is an empirical question which can be answered with some across-the-spectrum research into political speeches and commentary.
