It's a well established fact that anyone who objects to the fascist coup attempt of one donald jessica trump is somewhere to the left of hugo chavez' ghost (no, not that one, the imaginary one in the krackhead lawyers dreams)...and called for the violent overthrow of the federal government by [checks notes]...erecting a tent city in oregon.

Pretty much every Republican I have known for the last 20 years doesn't recognize any form of centrism at all. If you aren't with them, you're so far left you're about to fall off the planet. And during that time the GOP has purged itself of anyone resembling centrists or compromisers.
Why is it so?

How are they going to recognize centrism? Centrism is a compromise between themselves, and a position they don't believe is a legitimate american position. They stopped arguing that they won the vote, they're just arguing that dems don't count anymore. Dems are illegitimate.
Period.

They've never been close to running the country. Objection to the far right comes from both ideological differences and the results of their governance: a plague infested shit storm. Thus, objections to the extreme right are measurable and quantifiable where we can only guess at the country Bernie and AOC would give us in place of Kamala and Joe. I'll take observation over speculation as much as my fallibility will allow. Of course, a lot of that speculation is likely based on times in other nations (Revolutionary France, Soviet Russia, Communist China, post colonial Algeria) where far leftists did achieve power. However, the more I look at it, the more I realize that America’s political system skews so far to the right (as opposed to, for instance, Western Europe) that what many see as far-left isn’t really all that far to the left. If Bernie and AOC were based out of, say, the UK, they’d probably not be too out of place in the Labour Party (especially since the neoliberal New Labour is dead and buried.) I think we’d have to wait until the more jackasstic Tumblr “SJW”-types or even Tankies to become mainstream before those fears become justifiable beyond “um, guys, I think you might be going a bit overboard.”

The right does a lot of projecting. It seems their number one defense mechanism. Which makes sense, as it's a form of denial.

How long until Trump regrets reading a reasonable speech in a wooden tone, and describes those in orange jumpsuits as "great patriots"? Perhaps it will wait until he's playing Golf with Kim in NK.

Now you know one.
