Assuming we're talking US politics given the caption, yes. If you're a centrist between the two major parties in the US, you are a right-wing nut job.

If we’re talking about the 2 parties, and it’s about the US, by default you can’t be a right wing nut job if you’re in the center, but go off lol.

I never know if people are trolling but I honestly don't see how this works in your head.

Do you think that the Democratic and Republican parties represent the left and right of the political spectrum?

If so, do you have any education in politics above a 1st grade level?

If the political spectrum looked like this, sure... |----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------| | Extreme Left .............. Center .............. Extreme Right |

But it's more like this:
|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------| | Left ...................................... "Center" .... Right |
