As a foreigner, what does this metaphor mean? It sounds to me like "And at the end of the day... is night" kind of things, but what does it replace?

It means there is no future in centrism. The living armadillos choose a side. Those that dither will be hit by cars. On United States roads, yellow lines signify lane divisions between cars traveling in opposite directions.

I also read this as the yellow lines being artificial constraints we’re placing on ourselves; and in this country the road painter was drunk the day he marked them down

Apparently it's a book title of the same name. "A book of political subversion"
