As usual a little more exact wording would have generated a different answer.

Like the questions about parents being an absolute authority over kids. It depends, and vs the government-definitely.

Yeah that was another one. Good parents of an 8 yr old, sure.
**** parents of a 14 year old, probably not.
Absentee parent of a kid raised by grandparent, no of course.

There needs to be several options for each question. I can't remember which test it is but there is one that has more nuance and applicable detail for every question. On that one I came out center left, which is probably more accurately describes my overall ideology.

There’s another at least: to give the Biden / Harris agenda a rest for a while. I don’t like the government telling me what to drive and I especially don’t like it decided by fiat.
Trump’s terrible, no doubt. But a lot of what the Democrats were pushing was garbage and needed to stop.
I’ll take the quiz once my John Birch Society meeting finishes.

No. You're reading the results wrong. Based on the graphs posted, the makeup of this forum leans right to the tune of about 87%

Not according to the bar on the right. Very few have been in the blue.
However I’m getting the sense this all has a little ******** to it.
Like when we sent our dogs swab for dna testing to see what mix he was. IMO, some random person on the other end picked 3 breeds out of a hat and told us that’s what he was for $49.95

Basically the right side scale is cultural...while the other chart focus on economics and government involvment...so the site and these participants lean left on culture but are fairly even on economic and small government control.

I just stated most are leaning right. Look at all the graphs again. We're not paying for this and we chose the answers. Your dog's DNA test isn't remotely the same thing

There weren't any real economics questions to make any sort of real distinctive determination as to ideology

This is another #2.

Trump governed by executive fiat just as much as Biden in his first term and has continued to do so, despite Republican control of the other two branches of government.

So you didn’t vote for him because of some ideological objection to unilateral rule (there’s no sound libertarian case for Trump after 2020). Sounds like you voted for him because you thought his unilateral rule would be better for you (because he wouldn’t tell you what to drive).

Well no, and I certainly could have worded my post better. It's much less about me than the whole country. I haven't bought a vehicle recently and I don't expect to need one anytime soon.
Climate change will be a massive issue if the projections hold true, and the Biden GND EO's would have imposed huge changes socially and economically. Things of that magnitude should see a whole lot of sunlight and then a course of action agreed by our representatives. The quick 'it's like this and we'll do that, trust us' that we got didn't cut it. The same goes for other EO's by both parties but this one stands out.

Yes, which forced me into the "neutral" response because there are so many different scenarios that would push my answer one direction or the other, changing the outcome.

Same. I landed just one small square north and west of McDad and Hog.

However, the drugs question got me along with a couple of others. On one hand, if an adult wants to kill or damage themselves with illicit substances, then whatever dude, that's your poor decision. You also deprive the drug pushers of money, weakening them....at least somewhat. On the other hand though, illicit drugs are a scourge, a poison to our society. They serve absolutely zero positive purpose. They destroy far too many innocent lives and weaken far too many people not only physically, but morally. Families ripped apart. I know far too many victims, some were my friends.

Same thing with the victimless crime question. I can see both sides.
