Horseshoe was the most powerful centrist, and the most powerful character in the series besides Liberalism or the Nazbol. He was normally spotted wearing a cowboy hat and speaking in a stereotypical southern accent.

## History

First spotted in the first episode of the Centricide series, the Horseshoe Centrist was a more passive and laid back member of the Anti-Anti-Centrists. Besides his occasional puns that follow the basic formula of "The way I see it, there's literally no difference between X and Y", he was always a supporting actor of the Radical Centrist.

In Centricide 3, the Centrists and Extremists were out and about on **converting those on the edge of the Overton Window,** a deity the Centrists praise as a god. Horseshoe Centrist was instructed to go to Conservatopia and assimilate the Conservative, but failed due to his inability to decipher the difference between the Conservative and Nazi, before the latter attempted to murder the Conservative.

Returning as a major player in Centricide 5, as the last two remaining Centrists, Radical Centrist leaves to "go find JayReeG. Thus it was Horseshoe Centrists duty to fight off Nazi and Commie on his own. Accompanied by a song called *"All The Same To Me"*, he stomps both Nazi and Commie into the ground, forcing them to summon the arguably stronger deity, Lil' NazBol. Lil' NazBol hijacks and copies the song of Horseshoe Centrist to hail himself into defeating the Horseshoe Centrist with HC's own powers. Resulting in the death of the Horseshoe Centrist, he collapses inbetween the ends of an horseshoe, symbolizing either his death, his conversion to an extremist or just his death by being proven false.

## Ideology

### **Economic Axis**

Horseshoe Centrist was economically centrist, and thought that the economic right are the same as economic left.

### **Governmental Axis**

Horseshoe Centrist was likely a statist, but not authoritarian. He couldn't see the difference between totalitarian regimes and anarchists.

### **Cultural Axis**

Horseshoe Centrist was culturally centrist, and thought that the cultural right are the same as cultural left.

## Physical Description

Horseshoe Centrist was always wearing a cowboy hat and had a mustache shaped like a horseshoe.

## Personality

The Horseshoe Centrist's main gimmick is that he, upon the mention of just about anything, says there is no difference between X and Y.

## Powers & Abilities

Obviously his biggest power is tied to his **Magic Horseshoe**, he carries around.

The horseshoe enables him to **duplicate** himself in the form of white shades that strengthen his attacks (and make for a sick music video dance group). Aside from that, the Magic Horseshoe is able to **manipulate physical matter in terms of movement**, seen as he pulls Nazis Gun towards him and shoots Nazi with it or focuses Commie and throws him around the area.

Being the most powerful centrist due to his ties to Horseshoe Theory, his power is resonating from him in almost a physical manner, being able to push or stun the Extremists.

The fact that the Magic Horseshoe was first present in the final battle with the Horseshoe Centrist, after "Centricide 4.5 - Ancapistan" in which AnCaps mentioning selling arms to the Centrists, can lead to the assumption that the Magic Horseshoe was sold to them by AnCap in the first place.
