Say a person is non-political

They truly subscribe to the doctrine of live-and-let-live.

They are non-religious, but don't care what others believe.

They want a healthy planet and environment, safe food and water, for them, their family and neighbors.

They want safe schools that teach mainstream facts.

They want friendly but effective law enforcement.

Why does that sound like I've just described a "woke" hippy far-left liberal????

We need better messaging. A PR firm, maybe.

It just boggles my mind.

I'm sure it is a result of the right continually moving rightward, so that anyone who truly was neutral is now considered left.

So discouraging, but I guess thats the point.
