where individual views may hit extremes, but the average of those views will be in the middle for independent thinkers

his essay explains it better, though I do agree there should be some dots on either end and up high

Extreme views seem to scale most with education. Those highly decoupled from either tribe can be educated as well, but does seem more common with those less politically engaged. I am optimistic about the resurgence of an "abundance" agenda pushed by center-left Liberals.

They've found another tribe.
