i've talked to left and right wingers in person about this and most seem to agree with this concept or contributed to it. at the vaguest level it's perceived as two groups, the neoliberals/neocons and the populists. the populists have a left (berniecrat, demsoc) and right (trumpian, nazbol-lite) wing. the neos are all the old guard repubs (mitch) and centrist/corporatecrats. at their most basic understanding of this they believe the populists are trying to help the people while the neos only care about the markets. obviously this struggle is being heavily catalyzed by the 2k checks.

i probalbly should have said something like an ideological realignment now that i've seen people's opinions. but it is scary how easily the fash could take advantage of this with such a weak, disorganized but (growing) left in the U.S. hopefully we can all take advantage of this to steer people and use this as a teaching and solidarity moment.
