I interpret the picture differently. The nation is divided, and radicalization is continuing to grow at the extremes. The far-left is also on the rise, even though the far-right dominates the media and, because of Trump, holds the upper hand. The center, which could act as a bridge, is dying out—in part because Trump, as president, is not embracing that space.
This was my point. You consider the far left and the far right as equivalent, when the projects are very different also from a moral standspoint.
This same apparent equivalence was what made the far right conquer the power in Europe in the 1930's, when the "center" sided with them against the left. All the left being accused of extremism by the right and the far right at the time, as today.
Ultimately, the far right started a world war—that is a historical fact. However, there are also plenty of well-documented crimes that prove the far left is equally capable of committing terrible crimes against humanity.

For the understanding was the "Cambodian Genocide" done by far left or far right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide
