Over the last 8 years I’ve seen that a lot. Once you start having conversations you’ll find that most white people that claim to be “independent” are really maga/republican but too cowardly to say it. So they fake like they don’t like any political party but regurgitate conservative talking points.
They have too much to lose by revealing their stances, cause their very safety is on the line. Or their SSN and credit card info gets doxxed. Same thing for brehs that are bothsides. The personal fallouts with the people they know is just too much to handle.
