That is all.

The reason the left is blind to this, is that they perceive themselves as the center of all being.

The center of the universe, center of all thought, and the center of the political spectrum.  Perhaps the cornerstone of the alternate reality they've manufactured for themselves.

In truth, they are way left and moving farther left at an accelerating rate.  (Yet will look out the window and say, "I've moved nowhere!")

Same with the right.  The right as a whole has moved left of center over time as well - in turn pulled to the left by the political climate as well.  There isn't much that separates the parties, at least... the career politicians in the parties.

Your graphic is simplifying things considerably, and isn't entirely accurate. The political spectrum extends from statism on the far left to fascism on the far right, and once you start reaching for those extremes (neither party is anywhere near there yet), the two ends of the political spectrum start to curl back in towards each other. Statism and fascism have a lot in common.

Then he's a liberal.

What? Dude, you've posted some crazy stuff before, but a Supreme Court justice being labeled a liberal because he votes for what he thinks is correct rather than voting for what the party that put him there wants? Sometimes I wonder if you actually think for yourself, or if you just parrot whatever Carlson and Brietbart throw at the wall.
