How it's used
This idiom often implies a sense of shared background, culture, or dialect, which naturally leads to people agreeing with each other. It carries a warm, positive connotation of camaraderie or being on the same wavelength. When used in a slightly cynical context, it can suggest that two people are ganging up on someone else.
Examples
I get along very well with him, we really see eye to eye.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply agreeing on a single fact. It describes a deeper, more fundamental alignment in personality, values, or background rather than just a temporary consensus.
