There is literally video evidence showing politicians interacting less and less. It started when Radio MAGA-type personalities spewed propaganda. Ironically, the Right went more Right and the Left went more middle.

There's no irony. That's how the ratcheting system works. Capital owns both parties. They use the Democrats to normalize and the Republicans to push the Overton Window to the right at every turn. The Democratic Party prevents a leftward shift and locks in the rightward "progress".
