Fake Centrism: Democracy's Retrovirus

[phantom power]

On this blog, I have made the point thousands of times over the last seven years that Fake Centrism is our most dire and dangerous political problem. Without a Fake Centrist narrative, Conservatives have no place to hide their lies, slander and depravity. With a Fake Centrist, there is no Conservative fraud or treason so large that the media will bury it under an avalanche of reflexive, "Both sides do it"-ism.

Fame Centrism is the retrovirus that is killing our democracy's capacity to defend itself from its internal enemies: it is the immune-system-destroying disease which allows every other kind of Hate Radio/Fox News opportunistic political malignancy to run wild through our body politic. And man, once you start to notice how automatically every water-cooler Cicero and two-bit Tom Friedman uses Fame Centrism to prop up their lazy arguments, it's really creepy.
