Agreed. It is also the strategy that Russia openly admits to using to defeat the US from within.
In this case, id have to say they're full of shit. We did this to ourselves when the government chose to chase the needs of the capitalist over the people that make up the country. That's like tossing a match into an active fire and saying you started it.
I think think there are more moderates that far left or far right because the majority of people are exposed to talking points from all ideologies.
I think the internet is causing more people to stay inside their echo chambers and drift further left or right instead of being exposed to nuance.
But I suppose capitalism has played a part in forming those echo chambers. Facebook being one example that comes to mind.
