Ah yeah, an enlightened centrist meme, coming directly from the deranged minds that think trying to take the middle road when one the sides is blatantly against human rights is a moderate position.
I'm not sure why centrism is so hated here. As long as you acknowledge one side is more damaging I don't see a problem with it. The other side might have less problematic views but they both subsist off of each other and thrive by creating vitriol between each other. It shouldn't be taboo to not support either one. This meme doesn't even really seem like its attempting to make that point anyway, although I understand how you could see it that way.
You've already passed the point where "both sides are equally bad" is reductive to your analysis.
I call out centrism because its almost always a right wing poster who knows they are wooing the undecided voter.
