Reading Nassim Taleb's article [1], I feel politics will become more and more extreme in the coming years.

Where it will become the far-left vs the far-right. And honestly, the US "far-left" isn't really that extreme compared to some European parties.

But isn't that because the electorate itself doesn’t support such candidates? The Dems going hard left will make it easier for Repubs to be electable.
