    i’ve never met a ‘’‘’‘‘centrist’’‘’‘’ who disagrees with conservative talking points.

      Then you either have a very small bubble, or don’t identify some because they happen to have agreed with you on some particular issues.

      My boss is one who identifies as a “moderate” and gets offended when people call him right wing or Republican. Yet, on 9/10 issues he sides with the conservative stance. We’ve correctly deduced that he actually is a conservative and votes for conservative candidates in every election, but he doesn’t like being confronted about his association with extremist viewpoints in a blue state so he claims he is just a centrist to take the heat off of himself.
