Think that will help you beat Trump? What is your track record in the last 3 elections?

I think the point is that we have extremists on both ends. Often with similar views on many things (e.g. anti-vax). And to your point, yes...your bullets were correct. Which, I think, sort of reinforces the point that we have sensible folks, and we have hair-on-fire radical folks. Somehow the Reps have normalized their version of "crazy" (MAGA). Dems still lose elections when their "crazies" stay at home because they don't see any difference between the Felon and Harris (for example), or because Bernie wasn't the candidate, or some other nonsense reason.

Left/right is convenient, and somewhat tribal. But, both you and the OP seem to agree it's not really real. I've been thinking that, too. The Reps used to be "the right", advocating limited government, and favoring big business. MAGA has taken them over, and that tradition has changed dramatically (even though the Reps are still finding a way to screw the little guy).
