Are you a Faith and Flag Conservative?


This is me according this quiz that is designed to get specific answers. The thing is many of these question don't have as simple of answers as this quiz wants.

Questions are stupid.

Which of the following statements come closest to your view?

1. America's openness to people from all over the world is essential to who we are as a nation.

2. If America is too open to people from around the world we risk losing our identity as a nation.

This question is just one example. The options they give you are not that simple. Yes our openness is essential to who we are as the USA but what do they mean by openness? We should welcome people from around the world that is the essence of our nation as a melting pot. But these ppl coming here now should be willing to live by our rules and accept our laws and customs. They should not come here and force their religious views and laws on us and force their language on us. They should come here and learn english. They should also respect our immigration laws of which their is not broken like the politicians and media try to make you believe. It is the government that is broken and not enforcing our immigration laws. We welcome any to come here if you do it legally and follow the process.

I took it out of curiosity and that's what I got as well.

You rated Democrats 0.

Ambivalent Right, on average, rated Democrats 34. The general public, on average, rated Democrats46.

You rated Republicans 20.

Ambivalent Right, on average, rated Republicans 43. The general public, on average, rated Republicans42.

You answered: I usually feel like none of the candidates represent my views well

got Ambivalent Right on the quiz, but many of the questions were meaningless

also rated both Democrats & Republicans zero, since there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between them

Kind of how I feel, although there are a few R's I like so I gave them a 20 - Thomas Massie comes to mind

the questions sucked though. Like i do think there is discrimination in this country and racist policy, but towards whites and asians. They arent framing the question for that answer.

I got Faith and Flag, which I think is bullshite because a few of my answers for sure veered away from the right. I guess the poll chose to pigeonhole me based on the answers to a few specific questions.


Not necessarily.

If "Faith and Flag" means what I think it means, it's not the most conservative classification.

Like they've changed the definition of everything else from "fascist" to "racism" to "nationalism" to "white supremacy," the left has changed the definition of "right wing."

It no loner means favoring the most conservative policies. Now it means things like believing in God (being an "evangelical") or not being ashamed of being an American. Basically things that have little to nothing to do with public policy.

Faith and Flag Conservative- with two areas of divergence.

1- I think religion should be kept separate from government policies. Two reasons: 1- when the shoe is on the other foot, and 2- Coercion does not equal conversion.

2- I have a pretty low rating (40) for republicans. Which is honestly more hopeful than accurate. (I did rate the dems at “0”).

I rated Dems at 40 and Republicans at 50, but said religion should be kept out of politics, so it’s probably how I ended up in the middle.

Stressed sideliner
quote:

Stressed Sideliners hold a mix of conservative and liberal views and are the least politically engaged typology group. Generally disconnected from politics and the two major parties, they vote at lower rates than most other typology groups. About four-in-ten live in lower-income households, and they are the group most likely to describe their personal financial situation as only fair or poor.
Stressed Sideliners are split evenly between the Republican Party and Democratic Party, while one-in-ten don’t lean toward either party. They lean liberal on economic issues and tilt conservative on some social issues.

Not all of that fits but it's what it said

I take issue with this question in particular, or, or rather why it’s even a question to begin with, and doesn’t have an option for it being none of my business what profits corporations make or lose. Why is this even on here, and what does it have to do with political typology besides to say you’re a leftist who thinks what corporations make IS your business.

quote:

Which of the following statements comes closest to your view?


Business corporations make too much profit

Most corporations make a fair and reasonable amount of profit





BTW… You cannot get an understanding of a person from 16 questions with very limited options to pick from, and no caveats, but you can put them in your little box, which is what this is designed to do.
