Centrism is the range of political ideologies that exist between left-wing politics and right-wing politics on the left–right political spectrum. It is associated with moderate politics, including people who strongly support moderate policies and people who are not strongly aligned with left-wing or right-wing policies.
The issues described in the comic/thread is that when you have one ‘extreme’ calling for the removal of rights/the lives of one group, and their opposite ‘extreme’ is calling to not do that, Centrists ask for some middle ground that cannot exist. You call the top right panel a ridiculous strawman, but go into any thread about immigration, women’s rights, etc, and you will see (slightly less hyperbolic most of the time) comments that line up with that panel. What’s the Centrist reaction to abortion bans? Partial bans. So all the Right has to do is ask for the entirety of something (abortion ban, force striking workers back to work, etc) and Centrists will give them part of what they want.
