The 'nutters' generally cancel each other out and the independent voters decide the final results.I'm not talking about party leadership. I'm talking about the fact that the energy in both parties is with their nutters.The nutters and psychos are in control of the parties.
So, the wild swings back and forth will continue. Wave elections, back and forth.
Big waves destroy things over time.

I disagree. Pelosi and McConnell are not nutters or psychos. Speaker Pelosi is a pragmatist; McConnell is a master of machination, all legal, and all partisan and self serving.
A couple of freshman speaking out, which may marry with Speaker Pelosi' thinking, but as leader she knows changes require a bi-partisan vote.
These freshman lack the seasoning to mellow their rhetoric and work step by step to bring progressives ideas into the mainstream - going too fast isn't going to bring change, it will slow it down, possibly to a stop.
The loudest part of the base, in both cases.
Naturally, those nutters won't recognize that fact from their nutter perspective.
