This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right.
I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really ever a word I'd use to describe myself.
During the election, I took polls and tests to tell me what I was and tell me what candidates I aligned with on what issues. Gary Johnson was my man, I was loving the Johnson. No feeling the Bern, Bern just sounds like a bad feeling.
But conservative? Meeeh... I'm used to not finding a category I fit into.
68 % conservative: You believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals.
You are 52% conservative and 48% liberal, you are a Centrist!
You believe in the power of the greater majority. As a centrist, you find yourself making compromises, and understand perspectives from both sides of the political spectrum. Certain issues sway you one direction; others, the opposite. In the end, you are not a radical and hope to pave a way for a better America that pleases everyone.
YOU ARE A Young Outsider
This relatively young, largely independent group holds a mix of conservative and liberal views. And while more lean toward the Republican Party than the Democratic Party, Young Outsiders generally express unfavorable opinions of both major parties. They are largely skeptical of activist government, as a substantial majority views government as wasteful and inefficient. Yet many diverge from the two conservative typology groups – Steadfast Conservatives and Business Conservatives – in their strong support for the environment and many liberal social policies.
You are: Somewhat Liberal
You believe in equal rights for everyone. You tend to lean toward the left in areas of policy and government, but you do believe that people should play a strong role in fending for themselves, and you are open to arguments from your right-wing friends.
So in other words, I'm nothing and everything all at the same time. Which is the same thing I have always been. . . I never fit into a clique in grade school, I wasn't "known as" anything really in college- except maybe a party girl or a "Good time Charlie".
I guess in this case, it's really more "How do I feel about a specific question/topic" and less "how do I feel overall about things" that will really give you an idea of where I stand. I think that, if you browse my many blogposts (over 100 in the last year) you will see whee I stand on CERTAIN TOPICS. I am always looking to discuss other topics. I really want to get into some ooooey goooey interesting ones... you know, the headliners. Leave a comment with a topic suggestion. :)
