I am no MAGA TRUMP LOVE type supporter. I try to be a centrist, a proper one with proper devil’s advocation. That being said, even r/centrist over there is very obviously on the left.

I made 1 comment ever on r/trump which I am not even subbed to…

Here is them muting me for my shocked reply:

    Your comment doesn’t seem very centrist, but that’s neither here-nor-there. How did you perceive this as “Kill all others”?

      Silencing people who disagree with your side of the spectrum is a kill-all-others mentality. It is a slippery slope, and is authoritarian.

      Also… how is advocating for freedom of speech sided? A centrist can make centrist observations. I may end up voting democrat, but this doesnt mean I dont see through the pandering. The same can be said to both sides…

        That is an extreme perspective to say the least. And freedom of speech has nothing to do with it. You said and I quote "I hope you don’t feel like you’re on the ‘correct’ side of the political spectrum. If you are a centrist, there is no ‘correct’ side. And the only real context to the statement is what you explained and what you said. There’s always 3 sides to a story; your truth, their truth, and the truth. We have observed your truth, so what’s their truth? IMO, that’s what centrism is

        And I will give you the benefit-of-the-doubt that I took your comment out of context, but based off of what I have right now, that’s my view
