seeing eye to eye
Sharing a view
Seeing eye to eye means being in agreement or sharing the same view on something.
The phrase almost always appears with a negative: We don't see eye to eye on politics, They've never seen eye to eye.
The image is of two people looking directly at each other, their perspectives aligned.
