I think there needs to be a distinction between political ideas and political ideologies. Especially in the United States, where there's an obsession between the GOP and the DCCC, even though neither political party represents a majority.
When you ask respondents on political ideas, like voting rights, immigration, state welfare, infrastructure, etc, a much broader and more moderate viewpoint emerges.
Also there seems to be a more growing disconnect between people in power and the masses. I think as data science becomes a more developed craft, more people will become aware about the motivations of our political actors. Sensationalism and political correctness are usually signs of a deeper problem---
