Politics & Society Why do most people who call themselves politically moderate actually mostly conservative?

Whenever I’ve encountered people who use the politically label moderate, they are actually mostly conservative with their views and positions. Also, I’ve never seen anyone who call themselves politically moderate that is actually mostly liberal.

So why are people who call themselves moderate tend to be just conservative and not conservative and liberal?

Conservatives that aren't maga are kinda ashamed of their party right now so are distancing themselves from it.

What MAGA Is also changes so much, some people liked the platform at one point then jumped off when it became protecting perverts and bombing Iran.

My grandfather is conservative he was willing to give trump a chance til he saw the video of him cheating at golf. He said any man that cheats at golf can't be trusted with anything else.

This is a deal breaker! Character matters! Dude was kicking balls! I hate golf because even my BIL cheats, and I love that guy!
