I think the person saying it wants to avoid family or acquaintances giving them shit for not sharing their political views.
Most of my family is very conservative stereotype vile people. I've heard that exact phrase from the few left leaning relatives as they try to wigle out of unconfortable conversations. I myself am the black sheep that just tells the repugnicans that their views disgust me.

I used to call support to see if the internet service was down when I couldn't connect, now I browse to a status page to see if the phone service is down, and I work in tech support.
