I could try myself, but there are a couple questions I would have first:

-Is talking about evangelical Christianity considered right-wing when it's not explicitly political?  I'd say no, but I could see how some would say yes.

-Is criticizing Trump from the right on stuff like trade considered right-wing or left-wing?

1) I would say generally no, unless it's related to something specific like how your beliefs affect your politics.
2) For now, let's count critiques of Trump as left-wing-- not so much "left" as "anti-right," I suppose, but still indicative of a willingness to criticize one's own partisan camp when the time comes.

This is super approximate.  I did count simple criticisms of Trump as left, but I counted questions like "would you prefer Pence/Cruz/other Republican to Trump" as neither unless I elaborated significantly.  A lot of my posts relate to ultra-conservative personal morality, but not directly to politics.  So, here's my estimation of my most recent 125:

Apolitical/neutral: 108
Right-wing: 14
Left-wing (just criticisms of Trump): 3

That apolitical percentage seems awfully high- if someone wants to be a different set of eyes, feel free!

I'm going to exclude Mod Cave posts for the purpose of this.  Many posts were also tough judgment calls.  I tended to count purely religious or theological posts as neutral unless I connected them to politics.

Right: 22
Left: 3
Neutral: 100
