Almost 50% of Leftists refuse to be friends with a Trump supporter.

Hopefully the leftists pull the democrats to socialists and the conservatives pull the GOP to actual conservatism.    Leaving the rest to either create a centrist party.   This way we can at least have a distinct direction to vote.

Well, there's more than 200 million voters. About half are Democrats.

According to this thread, that's 50 million people that won't talk to the (about) 90 million Republicans (the other about 10 million are 3rd party). 

If the reverse is true — as it usually is — then 45 million Republicans won't talk to the 100 million Democrats because they aren't Trump supporters.

Which puts 50 extreme left, 45 extreme right and 95 million in the middle (leaving us 10 million 3rd partiers out). If each party keeps pulling and a central party was created, it would easily dwarf the Democrats and Republicans.
