A quotation from Eisenhower

People talk about the middle of the road as though it were unacceptable. Actually, all human problems, excepting morals, come into the gray areas. Things are not all black and white. There have to be compromises. The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters.

Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969) American general, US President (1953-61)
Interview (1963-11-05) by William Stringer, “Midroad View at Gettysburg,” Christian Science Monitor

Given the choice, Centrists always side with fascists or the right. #LifeLesson You can't trust centrists. Example:
"the leader of the ailing Liberals, Simona Mohamsson, shocked her party last month by abruptly switching positions on SD, announcing that her party would accept being in government with a far-right force she had previously denounced as racist. She also held a press conference alongside Åkesson in which they hugged."

Does adopting far-right rhetoric help the political centre?

Researchers in Berlin have found centrist parties are allowing far-right parties to dominate political debate by repeating their rhetoric.

Chancellor Merz's recent remarks on Germany's "cityscape" are the latest example.
