I don’t think so. You don’t see moderates behaving that way towards moderates.
I don’t think that’s really true: the few people who do think about politics a lot and self-identify as “moderates” to the exclusion of other labels do seem very apt to explain disagreement by others’ fanaticism, ideology, groupthink, extremism, or other ways of not being a moderate.
