Prisoner's dilemma. Bipartisanship is "cooperate", divisiveness is "defect". Cooperating with a defector results in losing badly. The right have worked this out and are playing "defect" continuously. And currently "winning".

We have to change the payoff matrix.

The name for this is “asymmetric polarization”. The right polarized and stopped cooperating earlier and more aggressively.
