I don’t agree with this. When you look at how many people support Bloomberg now amongst Democrats, and consider Bloomberg is a late 90s Republican in his views It’s far-right vs right And then an emerging left with Bernie’s coalitions
Not so long ago, the US political spectrum was center-right (democrats) vs. right (republicans). Now, it seems to be left vs. far-right. Strange evolution.

I think it can readily be linked to a modified version of Hotelling’s electoral competition. American politics seems very much for or against certain issues. Imagining a bimodal distribution of voters suggests there should be 2 different positions against each other (1)

Particularly if we add a constraint that parties must pitch themselves within a certain similarity of a voter’s position to win that person’s vote.

Everything in this world contains bias. Even the lens through which you and I view the political spectrum.

Unfortunately, not especially strange. Herds of impotent humans have ALWAYS gravitated toward charisma, even if the charisma of a despot. Ineffectual victims want heroes to destroy the Other. Extremistan's a Winner-Take-All game because of concentration of power/violence in govt.
