We did this before https://formerly.thefogbow.com/forum/vi ... 57#p926556 but people's political opinions change over time. Heck, my dad changed political parties when he was 80 years old (and never went back).

Interesting. When we did this previously I was dead center about 1 box to the left. I still feel like that's where I'm at, despite this exercise. :shrug:

These kinds of charts always remind me of vector analysis plots.

If you ever wondered how ethernet, or cellphones, or even modems and color TV's worked, it's right there in a two dimensional representation.

Whoa, I'm the least authoritarian of all! How'm I s'posed to run a internet forum if I'm not good at bossing people around? As the kids say, do I see how I am? :confuzzled:

But a little further to the right than most. I always say, I'm an urban political knee-jerk liberal weenie, but only up to a point. Or during a full moon. Then I become a werebubba. :mrgreen:

Yeah, my mom was always a Republican and once Trump got nominated she decided to vote straight Democrat. Prior to that, even as a Republican she would sometimes vote for a Democrat, she tended to try to listen to what they had to say and sometimes thought the Democrat represented her views better. I think she voted for all Democrats for Florida Governor, interesting enough. But now, she will not vote for a Republican, no matter what. Trump completely turns her off and she understands a vote for a Republican Senate or House member is still a vote for Trump. And she can't stand DeSantis either.

Counting squares, I literally fell in the same box as Foggy. I'm too just-awoke and under-caffeinated to copy-pasta the picture. But just awake enough to wonder if Foggy and I should both be worried. :biggrin:
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.
