Paraphrasing myself from [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-america/1009759)…

“Republican” = Republican voter  
“Libertarian” = Republican voter  
“Independent” = Republican voter  
“Moderate” = Republican voter  
“Centrist” = Republican voter **← this is you!**  
“Undecided” = Republican voter  
“I’m just not that into politics” = Republican voter
