I guarantee you that a 70’s/80’s right-winger

Do you always defer your opinion to right-wingers? What a "centrist" thing to do - and I wish I was being sarcastic.

That’s a very narrow and unwise way

Considering that you, up until now, didn't understand how deeply your world-view has been dictated by right-wing ideology, perhaps it's best that you don't throw words such as "narrow" and "unwise" around too much, okay?

But I got to warn you, raw rage won’t fix things,

Neither does appeasement - no matter how you justify it.

Centrists are citizens too,

So are serial rapists and parasite billionaires. What's your point?

We need consensus

No thanks... I'm not comfortable with slavery and genocide - no matter how you justify it.
