I just don't get how you can't abstract away the fact that:
1. the right have their political compass point to Christianity, guns, less government, anti-homosexuality, anti-abortion
2. the left have their compass point to redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor for social programs through taxes, support for transgenders, democratic socialism, etc.
I just feel like the 'compass' thing is saying what is already obvious in a different fashion. Am I missing something?
Most political scientists reject the left right dichotomy altogether and use a "political compass" instead. You seem to be posting from the "authoritarian right" quadrant:

Maybe if you adjusted your attitudes based on data, rather than insist your views are right because they are your views, you'd feel less uncool or "behind the curve".
