What is the Alt-Center?

Hello, & welcome to my new blog, in this blog I will explain the meaning of Alt-Centrism.

I been a registered voter for 5 years now, since I turned 18 back in 2017, & I registered as a independent, then switched to Republican, then back to Independent, then I joined the Libertarian Party, then I joined the Republican Party once again, until earlier this year, when I became an independent voter once again, over the years I have developed different political views, going back to 2008 when Obama was first elected president, & I was only 9 years old at the time, but I remember one time on the bus to school, the morning after Obama was elected president, my christian conservative said that "we shouldn't vote for Obama" so I became anti-Obama for most of his presidency, despite not have any knowledge on politics, & not being able to vote yet, I heard a bunch of conspiracy theories like "Obama is a Arab Muslim" or "Obama was not born in America", in 2014, I became anti-illegal immigration, after watching tons of videos on videos against illegal immigration, my parents who immigrated from Mexico over 25 years ago were not too happy about my views, & before developing those views, I believe that a Latino can't be against illegal immigration, & it's racist to be against illegal immigration, but a year later, Trump announced his candidacy for President, saying "when Mexico sends it's people, they are not sending their best, they are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapists" & wanted to build a wall in the Mexican border, & wanted Mexico to pay for it, which really angered much of the Latino community in this country, then a Chicano judge spoke against trump, which Trump replied "because he's a Mexican", then Univision News anchor Jorge Ramos was told by Trump to "go back to Univision", then as he was escorted out of the press conference, a Trump supported to him "get out of my country", then Trump let Ramos back in, & allowed him to speak on his views on immigration, then in 2016, I started seeing this catholic conservative psychotherapist, & he was very open about his views & beliefs, & shortly after, I started going to mass again after several years of not going to mass, & I became pro-life, & I said the Republican Party is the party of Catholics, & I told my father "liberals want to kill babies" & my father said "give me a break, Republicans go to war & kill many people overseas", months later, I'm on the city bus, & this red-head Irish-looking white guy who appearetzzd to be a bit mentally retarded who was with a black female aide, was talking about how Trump is going to ge rid of all the Mexicans, & he pointed at me & this indigenous Mexican lady who I didn't even knew, I was very angry about what he said, but later that year, Trump won the election, & a lot happened during 4 years of Trump as president, the rise of the alt-right, which included the Unite the Right Rally, & then many people of color, including myself, faced more racism under Trump, I remember when COVID hit the US, I faced so much racism, especially in 2020, got called all kinds of slurs, & then George Floyd was murdered by the police, which lead to protests & riots from Black Lives Matter, then Trump lost the election to Biden, & many people on the right just couldn't accept that Trump was done, that he lost, so the Capitol Riots happened, which lead to Trump getting impeached for a 2nd time, then after Biden became president, the racism calmed down, but the economy became even worse, especially whats going on in Ukraine, which led to inflation, including high gas prices.

So comparing these 3 presidents, I would say that Obama did a lot for the dreamers, for the LGBT community, got the economy back on track, more jobs, signed Obamacare into law, & captured & killed Bin Laden, however, Americans became more obsessed with race/ethnicity, & Obama didn't really accomplish many of his promises, & deported more illegal immigrants than any other president, with Trump, there was more jobs as well, the economy didn't really improve much, at least in semi-urban areas, there was higher rate of racial discrimination, didn't listen to medical experts when COVID hit the United States, & couldn't keep his mouth shut as the commander in-chief, with Biden, he promised free community college, didn't do it, he promised amnesty for all 11 million illegal immigrants, didn't do it, gas, housing, & other needs are very expensive right, the war in Ukraine, the economy is going downhill, & seems like showing some signs of dementia.

So really, 3 administrations just proves that both political parties are a joke, every 4 years, people are just let's vote red, or let's vote blue, different ideologies such as Modern Liberalism, Conservatism, Libertarianism, the Alt-Right, Socialism, etc just don't seem to work for Americans, especially of mixed-race Americans like myself, racially, I'm American Indian & White, & ethnically, I'm Hispanic or Latino, & I noticed the right seems to be very pro-life & only sees racism from non-whites, while the left is very pro-Person of color, & only sees racism from whites, & being both a white person & a person of color, at the same time, I just don't believe either side represents or speaks for people like myself, so I decided to come up with a new political ideology, which the term has been used before by others, but I'm going to define the term on how I see it.

It's a form of centrism, called alt-centrism, now what is alt-centrism?, basically supports free markets, limited government, free trade, federal legalization of marijuana, amnesty for illegal immigrants, disability rights, opposition to abortion, opposition to miscegenation, support for same-sex marriage, accepting that there's only 2 genders, accepting that race is genetic, & not a social construct, universal healthcare, Christian values, anti-Zionism, Welfare programs for disabled & elderly people such as SSI, Food Stamps, & Medicaid or Medicare, promoting Spanish, French, & Indigenous languages, alongside with English as languages of the United States, religious freedom (but recognizing Christianity as the cultural religion of the United States), giving tribal benefits & rights to all Amerindians from the Americas who reside in the United States, promoting a mix of corporations & small businesses, opposition to the Death Penalty, supporting the right to bear arms, supporting freedom of speech, & accepting that science is true.

I believe that alt-centrism has a long way to go, but unlike the failed alt-right movement, this movement is based on neutrality, logic, reason, & rationality, it's the best way for America to move forward.
