Once again the validity of the "two-axis political spectrum" is destroyed.
There never were enough voters with a consistent libertarian or "authoritarian" viewpoint to be important in elections.

It would be logically consistent to believe that "people can do whatever the hell they want" and think it is OK to have an abortion and OK to have a gun, but that person is almost impossible to find.
