I think the lack of empathy in regards to discussions of policy from both parties has led to a widespread seperation of a middle ground. And if you do take a middle ground on an issue? God have mercy on your soul because both sides will hate you.
I think a major issue is that the far-right is a fringe group in most European countries with a more socialist leaning people.
On the other hand, in the US the far-right seems to have become quite prominent and influential, making it harder for Europeans to distinguish moderate right leaning Americans from far-right Americans.
Also middle ground isn't necessarily the best or most rational option.
