If you're consistently voting hard right, how the hell are you calling yourself centrist? These people are nuts.

MODERATORS
If you think you’re the center of the world then all your opinions will feel centrist
There's that joke about how you can filter out right-wing extremists on dating services by filtering out everyone who has their political views as "moderate".
But yeah, like another commenter said, they seriously think they're in the majority – they're so stupid that they literally can't understand most people don't think like them
It's because they still think they are the "silent majority."
It says a lot about who she surrounds herself with.
That's how cults do their work. They convince people that what they're doing is perfectly normal and okay. Stop the negative thoughts. Don't question your leader. Your leader would never lie to you. Other people want to poison your mind. You're the normal one, everybody else is crazy. Don't leave or bad things will happen...
Everyone seems to use themselves as the reference point for what is too much or too little of anything. Hence the funny and wise quote from George Carlin:
Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

I dunno all the leftists I know consider themselves as far left as possible
Trump this week agreed to debate Harris, and said he would be “willing to do more than one debate” against her. It’s a forum his supporters appeared eager for.
Lmao I so deeply hope that he is dumb enough to debate her. She’s just gonna put her lawyer hat on and fucking SHRED him. I’m absolutely giddy with excitement.
Eewww. Phrasing.
In this context she is far too old.
