I don't necessarily agree with this point. The right has moved much further from the center, and a decent chunk of the left has let themselves be dragged halfway there in the wake. A lot of American 'liberals' are considered right wing in other countries (especially European countries). That's always been true to a degree. But now it's becoming more pronounced. But to add extra noise, there's a portion of the left who are not more firebrand and have pulled further to the left. So the spread of 'liberals' goes a long way across the spectrum. Which also explains some of the fragmentation.
I agree with you, I was vague and that came across as a bit of a both sides argument. My bad.
It's not a spread, it's a decimation of the left.
