Put your finger on the median democrat line, leave it where it starts in 1994 and remember where republicans are in 1994 and 2017.
There is no question the democrats moved left, republicans followed and then moved right back to where they were. The democrats than moved further and further left.

You are describing the culture wars that are over. What we reached now isn't so much this. Social factors aren't even a huge consideration. It's about UBI. It's about wealth redistribution. It's about people who ignored advice, got a liberal arts degree putting $50,000 in debt and can only pay the interest payments from their mcjob.
I figure there was a period in time when this political division would turn into a civil war... but it won't.
Imagine the democrats clean sweep the midterms in november.
Imagine the republicans clean sweep the midterms in november.
What do you think happens in either of those cases?
