I do have to provide a bit of a correction to Jimmy's compass at the end there.
Trump = 1980's style business dem.
Joe = Authoritarian Justice dem.
Most of Trump's policies have been realisticly centrist liberal.
Joes policies have been authoritarian with far left panderings without the goodies that far leftist benefit from for a period of time.
A big part in why the political compass is so screwed is because the Overton Window has shifted as a whole left.
Styx had a good way to explain the difference between left and right in one sentence. Left wing = Authoritarian and for centralizing power. Right Wing = Liberty and decentralization of power.
Not every leftist is authoritarian, but all authoritarian systems are leftist.
