If you're an "enlightened centrist" in the United States, congratulations, you're just solidly right-wing and authoritarian.
The US dems are more similar to Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada, which like other social liberal parties is center to center-left on the political spectrum. Also the GOP is right-wing but not far right.
So while it's true that someone that is between both parties would be center-right, this doesn't mean they're solidly right-wing or authoritarian
