    This is why I hate how we discuss politics as far as labeling left, right, and center…

    If our “center” is somewhere in the “bibles in school and concentration camps for immigrants” area then they aren’t “centrist moderates” they’re fucking right wing conservatives. Our country is comprised of a moderate conservative party an ultra conservative party… The “center” is conservative…

    We say left right and center as relative positions to each other with little regard to their actual policies.

      While that’s true, in my case “right” is conservative in pretty much all contexts, so I just mentally transcribe that.

      I do agree with your point, but not my meme and all that. :D

      I think most people know what you mean well enough.

      Also, your points about the “center” are exactly what the meme is trying to demonstrate, FWIW.
