At least with regards the United States, the horseshoe is highly imbalanced. We have a far right but no far left. Especially in our government.
And even with the spectrum we do have, there is also a difference in their vociferous natures. Our far right is extremely blusterous and violent. Our farthest left is pretty meek and quiet.
This dichotomy causes issues with public perceptions. Since our middle left is louder than our farthest left, the middle left become seen as our full representation of what is on the left. Conversely, since our far right is louder than our middle right, the the far right become seen as our full representation of what is on the right.
My worry is that, as alluded to, the far right isn't just getting louder but getting power. The far right isn't just taking over the public perception of what is on the right but it's laws that go beyond just mere perception.
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
