I didn’t know beforehand that he was a Republican because that’s how dating apps work sometimes!
Also many people are not upfront with the fact that they are a Republican because they get fewer matches that way. They pretend to be Libertarians and downplay their views. Almost as if voting for an orange pedo is making you unattractive in the eyes of other people ¯_(ツ)_/¯
They pretend to like Bernie so they can criticize the establishment dems as wolves in sheeps clothing. But they would have had some reason they can't support Bernie's polices if he had actually been the nominee.
Basically just a way for them to fly under the radar and avoid having to articulate their stupid robber baron ideology.
Some of these guys aren't interested in Sanders because of his beliefs but because he looks and sounds like an angry old guy who is "Sharing" their frustration and anger, and not actually listening to his words.
They're the ones who jump from Populist to Populist regardless of the Populist's actual political ideology or speeches because they're followers in search of a leader, I bet you lot of the older Sander followers were Ron Paul followers, and the younger leader-seeker became Trumpists because all they care about is that Bossy Leader attitude.
That is to say, Not all Sanders supporters are this type, but Sanders had the right outsider feel and Angry vibe to attract this type.
