PERSONALLY, I am not ANTI anything...seems such a waste of energy.

Thus I suppose I fit in the last group

A constructive non-conformist that believes in right or wrong!!!!
There is no need for a D or an R or black or brown or religious bent to stand up and be counted for doing what is right.

That eliminates all the political "boxes"!

Let's use another label for each of the 4 categories.
instead of anti or pro elite let's use populist or non-populist
instead of pro anti government let's use favor bigger or smaller government.

Irrespective of color, gender, religion people either prefer more or less government control.

Irrespective of color, gender, religion people either favor the masses meaning be responsive to "we the people"or believe they are smarter than the masses and knows what is best for them.

For the sake of a conversation we must put people and things into categories BUT, in the real world things are not that simple.

Things have changed dramatically or perhaps how I see things has changed. I've never before in my life seen such hatred of people that do not agree with us.

NO ONE FITS INTO ANY DEFINED BOX.

I for example voted for TRUMP yet, I am pro choice and against a national religion which many Trump supporters think is or should be Christianity.

Christianity is not a religion. It is a faith or belief. There are many religions within the faith such as Baptist, Catholic, Luthern, Methodist, etc. I do not know of anyone that wishes to install a statutory national religion. Apparently, this is another liberal generated myth.

You are correct, anyone can be labeled or label themselves. Even the term RINO is a label and yet it is used to de-label.

The new movement is called "Law and Order," if we had it, life would be perfect.

The trickle down effect would result in a world like the villages.

No change:
