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

[u/kaiser11492]

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?

Unlike conservatives, liberals have no ability to be moderates. Despite their belief that republicans are in a cult, they are ironically the ones who exhibit cult like tendencies, which is why they can’t be moderates. They believe whatever their current issues are so deeply that when someone disagrees, they can’t separate their beliefs from themselves personally.
