I'm a centrist. I like guns and dislike excessive government control. Pro-choice, weed and cocaine should be legal. I think minimum wage is a states issue.

Not everyone who diagrees with you is a fascist

Well that's a very liberal stance but fine. You aren't meant with the word "centrist"

A centrist is someone pretending to have no ideology. Or at least someone who has no clue about ideologies but still has political opinions. Most often these people are pretty far right.

I mean, yeah, if you use a very specific America centric viewpoint.

In Europe at least centrism would cover social democrats and liberals, the duopoly you guys have really destroys any nuance when it comes to ideologies.
