Your response has surprised me MBB. Maybe you were just baiting me bringing Rita / HS into any convo!

I have no problem with liberals, most of my friends would be liberals.

We need all types to keep the world spinning.

I don't like super left or super right - there is room for all of us to work together.

What I am despising at the moment is the blatant mistruths being represented as facts in the media. I hate sounding like Trump but i feel like calling it Fake News. And i don't want to have any similarities to Trump!

They were an odd and diverse list of questions and the result, probably in keeping with me and my outlook.

I still hate Essendon and Richmond though

This is my real attempt. It's terrible. I was hoping to be so far left as to be completely off the chart. How did I get infected with so much right wing ideology ? Was it Watergate ? Was it Samsara ? Was it cable TV ?

I have a feeling that (surprisingly for some folks) the true Australian 'centre' is actually to the left and down on that model.

Yep, I think it’s describing the US political spectrum. The widespread belief in American exceptionalism would have slanted responses to “my country, right or wrong”

Agree.

Patriotism and religious zealotry abound in the US. I'm pretty sure Trump would not have lasted 12 months in Oz.
