    So this meme is talking to far right people, telling them to stop considering centrists as leftists?

    I read it as talking to liberals and Democrats, telling them they are not leftists, and if they think they are, they are actually far right.

    It’s not super clear.

      The interpretation that you took from the meme makes so little sense to me, that I truly can’t believe you actually believe that.

      As far as I know nobody considers liberals far right. They’re just not leftwing.
      And most Democrats and pretty much all of Labour are centrists too.

      Whereas MAGA rightwingers and Reform UK followers tend to believe that liberals are leftwing and that the Democrats/Labour are the harbingers of communism.

        Knowing how it was intended, it’s virtually impossible for your brain to evaluate retrosctively whether it makes sense or has room for confusion when you don’t already know. Obviously I misunderstood the intent, but I’m not sitting here lying to you.
