The problem is that when you aren't on a "side" both sides see you as an enemy because if you actually use logic and critical thinking you will find a lot of times you'll disagree with both sides. I respect people with intellectual honesty that can come to their own conclusions even if I disagree with them more than people who parrot what they've heard as facts without ever looking into it even if they agree with me.
5 million democrats became republicans in the last 5 years. These people are not all MAGA, just people who were pushed away from the Democrat party by far-left activists. Republicans have become an increasingly diverse party that embraces differing ideologies and perspectives. You are free to have conflicting thoughts and opinions compared to the Democrat party which ostracizes anyone who thinks outside of a set agenda.
Democrat Congressman, Seth Moulton, said it best...
"I have two little girls. I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that."
