    Jessica Castillo, a self-described centrist from Charlotte who voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020

    If you’re consistently voting hard right, how the hell are you calling yourself centrist? These people are nuts.

      That’s how cults do their work. They convince people that what they’re doing is perfectly normal and okay. Stop the negative thoughts. Don’t question your leader. Your leader would never lie to you. Other people want to poison your mind. You’re the normal one, everybody else is crazy. Don’t leave or bad things will happen…

      Everyone seems to use themselves as the reference point for what is too much or too little of anything. Hence the funny and wise quote from George Carlin:

      Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
