Push from one side of politics too far, and the other side will swell up to meet that push. Hegel tried to teach us this, and Jung to some extent as well. It's often referred to as the political pendulum by folk like I, and we often think it best to be left alone in the center, with anyone daring touch it being given wide berth and sometimes complete avoidance. Only under the more important issues will touching it be allowable, and even then only lightly with extreme care.
Since there is a lot of commentary on this subject matter, I will just link you the google search term so you can pick and choose your own preferred source on the subject matter. It all ultimately comes to the same conclusion. We need to leave the pendulum alone, and keep overtons window as close to center as possible, with only little swings when needed for the good of society.
