Sophomoric.

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.

In 2022 people are so polarized that they fit their policy preference to their tribe rather than the other way around. 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.
