    Disillusioned “open minded” republicans like my brother for one. He was telling me that Dems should run him to appeal to anti-Trump Republicans to prevent Trump from winning. He’s a pretty smart guy who somehow got convinced that JAQing off is a good basis for philosophical thought and denies that he has any firm beliefs and is open to anything that he thinks sounds convincing.

      That’s not the humblebrag he thinks it is; he’s saying he has no character. People who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

        My guess is that he says it just to keep his personal beliefs from being assailable and being challenged. He can ask questions of others to try and make points and insulate himself.
