Today I saw a comment saying "Mark Carney is not center-right, he's a liberal WEF Bilderberg globalist POS bankster. What image do people in your country conjure up of a center-right person? (lemmy.ml)

I'm from the Netherlands.

"WEF Bilderberg globalist POS bankster" is the most accurate description I've ever heard of when imagining a center-right or liberal person.

We have a lot of center right politicians, most of the Democratic Party fits that description. They're only "left" of the Republican party. They are not objectively on the left. The furthest left flank of the party (like Pramila Jayapal or Adelita Grijalva) could maybe be seen as center left, but the majority of the party is firmly right of center.
