I think a hard problem for centrists only, is coming to terms with the possibility that even flaming ideologues can arrive at their conclusions for well considered reasons. In my life I've encountered plenty of political ideologues willing to (at least notionally) concede the value of finding a middle ground. But ask a centrist if partisan opinions are sometimes not the result of biases or assumptions, but of a person successfully tracking truth, and they crash to desktop.
