It's not that the entire spectrum is further right, it's more that the vast majority of society is dealing with actual praxis and thus living in some anarchocapitalist hellscape where fairly centre-liberal reforms are a big lurch left, while a small pocket of cosplayers are online pretending they're about to start the February Revolution.
It's not a one axis thing, either. Americans are also blissfully unaware of how hostile European leftism is against some of their cultural causes. We don't talk enough about how it's well accepted among Euro leftist circles that surrogate pregnancies are a form of human trafficking, or that all sex work should be banned. Culture is culture, left/right positions aren't universal.
Ah, I see you're a fellow "three-dimensional spectrum" person. Not the traditional two-dimensional one, or worse yet, the binary "If not this, than that. This and that are only options."
More of a "people agree and disagree on different things, often for cultural and historical reasons, and the bundling of those things into pre-established packages is way less consistent than political traditions would suggest". How much that's the same thing I leave up for interpretation.
