I'd wager there are a lot of people who think of themselves as Conservative/Liberal due to mimicry from parents or environment who are actually fairly centrist

I'd wager there are a lot of people who think of themselves as Conservative/Liberal due to mimicry from parents or environment who are actually fairly centrist once challenged. Combined with the fact a lot of people also aren't very engaged with politics to begin with it isn't that hard to see how a seemingly contradictory relationship could actually be quite successful

That's my in-laws. They vote Republican and call themselves conservative because that's how they were raised but you would never know because they're pro-choice, proud lgbt allies due to having a gay daughter and a trans nephew-in-law (name?), supporter of black lives matter, have found family, own an electric car… I know more Republicans who vote for them despite their social issues than do. Trying to predict anyone's views based on the D/R is a gamble at best.
