Did you read the context for yourself or just have a kneejerk reaction based on a misleading question name? They let you read the options and what they mean.

Its mostly just right wing fears that illegal immigrants and too many 'uninformed' people (read: young people, minorities) will register and vote against Republicans. But ideologically it does fit in to their security mindset.

The way the questions are phrased is misleading.  If you read the description provided with the question, then you will see why I answered the way I did.

In all honesty, no, because this quiz is terrible and I didn't bother to take it.

You see most of the Dems/Socialist are ALL THE WAY to the left

Then most of the Republicans are also on the left but maybe a little bit

I don't think any right-wing people even fell outside the "moderate" box.

Yet libs scream about "right wing extremism"

I have been taking this quiz for like 6 years now. I started out at 80% on social issues and at 50% on economic issues in 2009. Than in 2010/2012 I swung way right on Social Issues(58%) and swung a little left on economic issues at 40%. In 2014 I basically stayed at where I was in 2010/2012 with Social Issues being at 60% and Economic Issues being at 40%. Maybe I will stay at Moderate Liberalism or morph into a Populist/Authoritarian.
