The Self-Described Centrist

“ I’m a middle of a roader “ I have heard said by many a self-described centrist:  a stupid thing to say because being in the middle of the road will cause accidents.  Either that or you’re driving in a ditch or on an uneven boulevard:  stupid things to do if you’re driving on a road.

I have thought of self-described centrists as fence-sitters, getting their jollies from a fence post stuck up their bum: weird if you ask me.

I have also thought of self-described centrists as leftists or progressives in denial.  Either that or they are embarrassed by the excesses of progressives or leftists, but don’t have the courage to side with reactionaries or bad thinkers.

I have also thought of self-described centrists as heretics against common sense.  A heretic is basically right about something but then goes overboard about this something to such proportions that they become evil.  Modern day examples are anti-racists, trans activists, and the people who go on and on about empathy.  The latter practice suicidal empathy.  The latter also label themselves as centrists and hate viciously.
