I’m a 70’s/80’s liberal.

So you’ve always been a right-winger. No surprises here.

I guarantee you that a 70's/80's right-winger would not consider a 70's/80's liberal a right-winger.

Personally I'm still pissed off at Reagan for calling ketchup a food group.

Not that there’s anything wrong with being a centrist,

Yes, there is. Lots. If you are “in-between” two right-wing ideology you are still a right-winger - ie, an apologist for and/or functionary of powerful elites.

That's a very narrow and unwise way to see the reality of things, but again, you do you. But I got to warn you, raw rage won't fix things, it just destroy things.

Centrists are citizens too, and your blind anger can't magically make them disappear. We need consensus on things that all citizens can agree to, and abide by.

Do you always defer your opinion to right-wingers? What a "centrist" thing to do - and I wish I was being sarcastic.

That’s a very narrow and unwise way

Considering that you, up until now, didn't understand how deeply your world-view has been dictated by right-wing ideology, perhaps it's best that you don't throw words such as "narrow" and "unwise" around too much, okay?

But I got to warn you, raw rage won’t fix things,

Neither does appeasement - no matter how you justify it.

Centrists are citizens too,

So are serial rapists and parasite billionaires. What's your point?

We need consensus

No thanks... I'm not comfortable with slavery and genocide - no matter how you justify it.
