I’m a fucking endangered species it seems like. Why is it not okay for me to be against affirmative action and for universal healthcare? Why can’t I like guns AND weed? Why can’t I simultaneously have good things to say about Obama AND Trump? Why can’t I like Wendy’s burgers, but McDonald’s fries? Why can’t I be pro-immigration while also being secretly racist?
There is no centrist club. Just lefty shills and right-wing crackpots. Most people are centrist, but we wander in the wilderness between the two camps unwilling to boldly speak of our opinions on specific matters for fear of being labeled as shill or crackpot. In the days coming, as the sky darkens and wind begins to blow debris about our feet, the centrist movement will be forced to cower in the shadows no more and rise up. Our flag will be purple and our battle cry “COMPROMISE” as our collective reason, pragmatism and practicality overwhelm the armies of the left and right. Our day will come. Our blessing upon the rest of you will be mercy inasmuch as you are able to stop disagreeing with every fucking thing the other side has to say. Our. Day. Will. Come.
