I'm going to boldly assume you're not living in the US? If so, this all makes more sense to me. The same way I might have vague opinions about the UK (Boris seems like a goofus, May did a pretty poor job handling Brexit, etc) I have no clue what the day to day politics are actually like.
Just interested in people who frame statements the way you did. As another poster said, sometimes it's meant as "If I say I don't care about this, when people disagree with me I can troll them by pointing out how little I care" but I understand your point of view.
Thanks for clearing things up!

I hold similar opinions about Brexit - I think it’s a bad idea based on the reaction of everyone else but if it was just up to me I wouldn’t care much (although I think it was managed badly). If it ends up bad for my business (software engineering consultancy currently based in the UK) I’ve already got a backup plan of moving elsewhere. Other than that I don’t have much power to prevent politicians shooting themselves in the foot so I just sit and wait with a good backup plan.
