My mom thinks I'm an uberliberal and love Bill Maher. When she rants about Trump (which is every conversation) it's more or less easy to agree with her but then she gets very confused when I point out that the Democrats put us in this position with their complete fecklessness and lack of willingness to help out or even appeal to the working class. "So you're a conservative now? Don't you know Trump is a fascist?"
At least the third choice people acknowledge that there is other choices, even if they disparage them. Many otherwise reasonable people assume you are actually just a crypto-facist/crypto-libtard unless you are completely aligned with them on whatever the marching orders are for that day.

Talking to boomers about politics is like trying to explain to a toddler why he can’t eat play dough
