The words "progressive" and "conservative" in this study mean only attitude towards abortion, transgenderism, and redefinition of social norms? Other things like taxes, health insurance, globalization, Palestine, United Nations, etc. do not belong on this axis?
The problem is that "progressive" and "conservative" have degenerated into signifiers of which omnicause a person subscribes to, where their position on Issue A automatically predicts their positions on B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, lest they be cast out of their tribe as heretics.
