Political Compass rewrite

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Due to the complains here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=22849.0 I thought I'd try to rewrite the PC questions going 1 page at a time. Give your thoughts on these or how they could be made better. Mind you there are some questions I don't think belong there but I'll keep them in this anyway, although I think some people are missing the big picture with ones such as the astrology question (they appear to think that only religious right folks could end up on the authoritarian side. But Hitler believed in astrology, as did several Latin American dictators.)

so here's the first two pages for now:
