So more or less a mainstream paleocon. Socially not-quite-very conservative, economically somewhat conservative, and isolationist. I’d flip your E-S scores.

I took the Political Matrix again, and my Econ score moved 2 points to the left, while my social score moved insignificantly north. Also the social score is going off the standards of the 2000s not 2021
