Alrighty then! Centrism is an idea that’s still being developed. On recognizes that there are extreminsts in several directions and seeks that happy medium. But there’s a twist. A true centrist eschews all “ists and isms”, including that very one, because such labels provoke a reaction based on preconceived notions. Like what just happened. You’ve been pigeon-holed, and that’s gotta hoit!
