    I think a big part of this issue is conflating of terms. We see it all the time. There’s a big difference between conservative citizens and conservative politicians. People don’t differentiate which one they’re talking about, leaving the reader to assume the wrong one, and therefore the op must not know what they’re taking about.

      Oh 100%. Most of the Great Culture War :tm: is a giant communication problem imho

      We’re just seeing it happen in real time and at a scale never possible before

      But I will say that it seems clear to me that the screenshot itself is calling out centrists as a voting group. But I could be wrong about that
