PVV voter colleague is really nice to me

For context, I am the only immigrant in my team of about 10 people. I am white (Eastern European to be more precise) and non-muslim so I guess not really on PVV’s radar for now but I also don’t speak Dutch.

I get along well with everyone on my team and since I’ve been there for a few years now nobody really pays attention to the fact I’m the odd one out. And there is this one guy who told me a couple times that he only votes PVV and wouldn’t think of another party.

But here’s the thing: he’s super nice to me. Not even the corporate fake nice, he actually seems genuine. He offers to help whenever he can, a few times when I was visibly having a bad day he checked on me and tried to help, and even throws good words about me to the manager (which he does for other people too tbh).

We have smoke breaks together and we talk about a thing or two. Politics don’t come up very often, but his stances on taxation and privatisation made me think if this guy even knows what he’s voting for cause they don’t really match with the right.

I feel so conflicted about this guy. Is he one of those who made PVV his identity without giving it too much thought? Am I just “one of the good ones” in his eyes? Could I actually get him to change his stance if we go deeper in these discussions?

Has anyone experienced anything like this?
