Interesting video with a (subjective) placement of each POTUS on the political compass spectrum.

I'm right smack in the middle of the libertarian left. Closest to Carter according to the video.

Definitely not where I was last time I took this (moved further south compared to last time.

What POTUS do you most closely match?

I'm sure most of you have taken this as it's an old test, but retake for s&^%s and giggles and post the results along wth the name of the closest POTUS from the video.

No one could have predicted Trump as the farthest Authoritarian Right President.

This is obviously a leftwing media attempt to undermine Hair Fuehrer!

About the same place I've been for years. Right square in the middle of Left/Libertarian.

Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.92

Not really surprised that half this country want a Right/Authoritarian as POTUS though. They spend a lot of time advocating for freedom, while at the same time destroying it.
