  • Centrist/Moderate/Extremist?

    If you’re self-labeling yourself a centrist/moderate, you’re probably hiding something and people grow very suspicious of you. Why don’t you so-called moderates let the people label you and let the chips fall where they may?

    Barrera has some very extreme takes on things. He acts so self-centered, gets angry easily and should probably get a mental health evaluation.
