it's possible he dislikes many current right-wing politicians, but he explicitly described himself in 2012 with the following quote and hasn't really shown much indications he's deviated far from this belief: "I'd say I’m somewhere in between being a libertarian and a liberal. So if I were to vote, it would be kind of a Gary Johnson versus Mitt Romney decision, I suppose."
I think he has kind of an inherent distrust of politicians/politics in general so that does kind of track. I'm not 100% sure his personal beliefs but he has never really expressed a progressive viewpoint that's for sure (and not saying it's a bad thing).
