Shit even my in laws say they are centrist, they don’t hold a single view that’s centrist. They vote down ticket republican their whole lives. This is a thing republicans do.
I voted a mixed ticket until 2016. Then straight blue until 2024, and only one exception in 2024 and she was was a city seat that I knew and could knock on her door and yell at in person if she did something I didn’t like.
this is a pretty typical actual centrist tendency. Most of the centrists I know have been voting blue (and loathing it). A decent number have, though, given up on that in favor of shtf.
The problem has been “vote mostly blue and hope they don’t alienate anyone too badly, because the right will take advantage of the alienated… oh, shit, they did it again.”
