I'd argue that it comes from the Cold War. The US, in order to oppose the Soviet Union, became somewhat right-wing (despite to this day being more liberal in some aspects than Europe). The rest of NATO, which didn't need to try to be ideological opposites to the Soviet Union, could be more left-wing without McCarthy types screaming "socialism!".
