For instance, I have an aunt who is definitely MAGA, and is flirting with Q-Anon ideas. However, she has pretty good views on the environment and animal rights. For instance, after travelling to Ecuador, she donates to some Ecuadorian land trust run by locals. However, if you start talking to her about the border or gender, she goes full Orbán.
Honestly I would love to have an uncle like that. sounds unfathomably based
Compared to my much more liberal cousin (which in China isn’t THAT liberal, she just has a small business importing western products for 富二代 in China), he’s pretty good, it’s just kind of off beat considering he gets dragged into ridiculous conspiracy theories, is homophobic and has some “well back in my day” moments like your usual chud western uncle, and then in a separate breath would drop incredible insight like “If America stops funding the Hong Kong riots, it’d die out within a week” (in like July 2019, he called it) or “Argentina’s problem is they tried to play nice with liberals instead of having a Vanguard party” re: Pinochet. His takes are either incredibly correct, incredibly interventionist, or incredibly not even close to based in reality.
I say this as someone who is becoming progressively more Maoist in my thinking, that is seems very on point for Maoism. Getting a bit caught up in what is or is not reactionary thought or capitalist influence to the point of getting lost in the weeds. You either end up like that, or like the CPP (Philippines) super LGBTQ inclusive
