Americans are pretty ideologically incoherent anyway.
Fuckin' mood. You can't have an IRL conversation about political policy with people because it's all fucking feels to them. My personal 'favorite' is people saying they're against gun control, and voting accordingly, but if you ask them what their policy preferences are they're more pro-gun-control than many people who claim to be pro-gun control.
