He publicly endorsed Sanders for president. I'm not sure what you call that, but I dont this the adjective "conservative" is correct.

Besides his vaccine skepticism, and willingness to talk to anyone, what about him do you think is conservative?

He publicly endorsed Sanders, then moved to Texas [0], accepted a big paycheck and checked out from discussions with a lot of his most liberal friends on podcast. I'm not sure anyone leaning democrat would be happy to move from Cali to a furiously red religious state that goes against some of his beliefs. But then again he has fuck you money so maybe that's the reason.

As someone who is left leaning that moved from NYC -> Florida, I wholeheartedly disagree. Tons of people that dont have fuck you money are leaving California, NY, etc and moving to Texas, Florida etc every day because they dont agree the progressive policies in place. And the 15% in tax savings every year is a nice bonus.
