  1. Looking from the Australian context, I don't think Americans are in the center at all. Your idea of center is far right or left and has been forever basically. While you might rate reasonably high you don't really believe in free trade and rank 25 on the economic freedom index. You give handouts to heaps of big corporations in various ways using tax dollars especially in healthcare. That's far right , the center gives handouts to humans in need which the US doesn't like to do because corporate donors to political parties are too important to consider the people. You have far right wing everyone has the right to semiautomatic weapons to kill as many people as they want until the good guy with a gun takes you out which is often after 20 deaths or so plus many others injured. This is not a second amendment issue otherwise fully automatic weapons could not have been banned but in effect they are. Then like recently with debt forgiveness of student loans you lean to the far left. There's nothing in the center in the US, constantly leaning far left or right and creating a complete mess for a wealthy country, highest homicide rate, median adult wealth not even making the top 20 yet somewhere about number 5 for average adult wealth , lowest life expectancy despite by far highest overall spending on healthcare. The US is simply the wealthiest most powerful developing nation on the planet.
