Don't say that he's hypocritical.
Say rather that he's apolitical

That's not my department" says Wernher von Braun.

It means I don’t care about anyone but myself and I don’t understand how it will affect me.

You are not entitled to people's time, energy or thoughts. Deal with it.

It means I voted for Trump and I know you will be "horrified" and I really don't want to get into it with you because you're hopeless to discuss these things with. Can we please just talk about something else?

Plus 100. Your life doesn’t revolve around who is in office, even if policies impact you. You make it work no matter which politician is in office.

I care plenty, but I will not engage with anyone on politics. I don't care if you share my views or not. It's not a topic I enjoy for conversation. So I might say that to not engage.

Christ these “explanations” are so condescending.
Talking about politics is not fun for some people. No one listens to each other and lately it’s just a way to get scolded and shamed or even if you agree with people, most people just like to hear themselves talk or listen to you agree with them more. Genuine curiosity and listening are in short supply.
Many people do not follow the ins and outs of the “sport” of politics like people in DC do. It doesn’t mean we are dumb or uneducated or don’t care.
It’s a polite way for them to let you know they don’t want to talk to you about the subject so buy a clue and shut up and move on.

Some people genuinely walk through the world clueless.

They don’t want you to feel free to yell at them.

I often tell people that I'm not into politics because it shuts them up before they tell me their polical opinions.

They mean they have lives other than Politics and you are exhausting to be around because you want to turn every conversation into a Political one.
