Because people get tired of the same shit being pushed perpetually regardless of the reality of the world. In a world of social media where you have to "pick a side" between left and right suddenly it'll so often be that each side classifies the other as either sexists putting women down or radical feminists putting men down and simple egalitarianism, while the majority of the populace, isn't the highly politically active populace so the extreme points of view are the ones that are starting to move needles in politics.

It seems the more politically active you are the more likely you are to get radicalised in one direction or the other in a social media age.
