This is literally what I’ve done my whole life. I have never identified as a leftist, always as a centrist, it’s not my fault other people don’t understand where the center is.
It’s less a sneaky trick and more a condition imposed on us by political circumstance. “I can’t really tell you my ideological affiliation because I’m afraid you’re allergic to it” isn’t a good sign for your chances at persuasion.
Even then, words are wind.
I’m much less concerned with the professed views of this or that terminally online trillionaire gooner internet celebrity than I am with what said gooner is currently ordering his gooner gang to do to the US Treasury system. If he was running around in a Che Guevera T-shirt while he ripped the copper wiring out of the federal government, it wouldn’t make me feel any different.

A lot of „leftist“ beliefs are really just basic human decency and that’s already too much for some people

Maybe hes a different kind of socialist, the not very socialist but very national kind.
Or maybe he’s just a carny, who’ll say anything to separate a fool from their money.
That comparison is insulting to carnies.
if only there was a simple way he could clarify, say, while making a speech, and do it twice just to be very very clear.
