Is it inevitable that the parties in a 2-party system be split along the personality divide we see now (high openness + low conscientiousness vs. low openness + high conscientiousness), or do the party platforms basically determine how the US divvies itself up psychosocially?

Either way, it seems pretty silly to hate someone for their party when the affiliation is at least somewhat genetically determined.

Strangely, I can't tell which party is meant by which description. I can't fit any of the four attributes to either of the main US parties.

To clarify, is your hypothesis that the left's conscientiousness quotient is generally low and the right's is high?

Suddenly wondering if anyone voted for Trump out of a low-agreeableness "same trait" bonus, rather than because they actually hated the people he hates.

My theory: plurality voting causes the territorial map occupied by the two major parties. It begins with plurality causing a two-party system via Duverger's law, forcing out alternatives. Once the field is consolidated to two parties, there is no value in political overlap.

As new political territory is explored (that is, as new areas of live become political), the first major party to act gets to choose a position. The second must take an "opposite" position to maximizing votes—there is no voting value in overlap.
