    It’s because they identify 100% with the party but don’t want the negative flack it rightfully deserves, so they pretend to be centrist.

      This has actually been studied

      Anti-Authoritarians and Moderates view it as best to be seen as Anti-Authoritarians, Authoritarians view it best to be seen as Moderates.

      They literally view opportunistic claiming of the center not just as a political tool but as a social survival tactic to not be ostracized for their bullshit.

                Never thought I’d see anti-immigrant sentiment on here

                How about a little compassion! That’s a big jump between Sol and Rukbat. That there even is a pernese here is a testament to their enduring spirit. Aivas would be proud!

      Exactly this. Many of them are concerned about how it might affect their work too and their families if they found out they’re were horrible racist people.

      It’s part of the reason why the KKK wore clokes

      It used to be libertarians that did this shit. Too afraid to commit to the bit, but still want to appear as if they’re the good guys.

        yeah… Here in Australia, they were also the only political party around who never removed their shitty signage after the election (and they legally have to). I’m surprised the Election council didn’t do it for them and send them the bill. I think the problem with those wankers is that they constantly try to get away with dodgy actions, and they end up being successful so many times, that they just keep doing it
