Btw this test doesn’t realize that fascism is a far left ideology.


Facism is an idea of authoritarians, not left or right on the economic scale.

This isn't the same axis that has been thrown out for years.

You could be left on this one and be considerend conservative on another. Or vice versa.

According to their graph I am basically sucking face with Jill Stein. Based on my back and forths with progressives on the internet I would have thought Eva Braun would have been more my type.

Economic Left/Right: 4.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.49

Close enough to Centrist

It also doesn’t take the effects of tribalism into consideration.
Like the ‘muh principles’ crew that always cries about people like Ron Paul.
People’s principles or beliefs can be easily overridden by persuasion.

Interesting that DJT and HRC are in the same quadrant.

I tried to be as honest as possible, but some of these questions are pretty loaded and/or slanted.

These results gonna get me kicked out of here?

Trump isn’t conservative in that sense. Think about his use of tariffs. He’s fine with using big government to achieve his goals.

Correct. Hillary is a much more of a free trader than Trump.

Give me a break. How about the fact that Hillary supports government healthcare? That doesn’t register? Welfare state? Public unions?

Well it is the economic freedom being expressed. Trump was for single payer and has done nothing to reduce the welfare state or public unions. He has kept them in place.

Remember Trump was a large contributor to HRC's Senate run.
