This is common, and it's why a lot of conservatives describe themselves as "not political" while acting and voting conservative. From their perspective it's just all these annoying people stirring things up and demanding change to a perfectly good situation who are the political ones.

In general, when someone says "I'm not political," I hear "I'm unreflectively conservative."
