I've found that most anonymous websites that aren't political to begin with lean left for the exact reason you talk about. Over the last 5-6 years it seems if you throw out any conservative ideal (cutting services) you immediately get labeled a racist, xenophobe, alt right. There's simply no point on this forum (hockey) or any other (music, golf, cars) to express your real political views and get run out of town.
I find it hilarious that people disagree that CP is very left leaning. I imagine it must seem very centered for college educated whites who work in white collar jobs though.
EDIT: I just wanted to add that I consider myself just to the right on the political spectrum, very right in comparison to this forum and very left compared to the trades people I work with.
