Cute poll, not biased in the least.

Some are faith based.
Some are small government based.
The main priorities are very different.

Also, ideology isn't on a straight left-right line.

The poll is far too simplistic.

As a self-assessed "almost SJW", I tried my best to be Fair and Balanced(R).

I see, thanks. At they at peace with each other, or do they quibble?

Of course not, though there are way too many people today who agree with every single point on a platform, whether Republican or Democrat. Why does every Democrat have to be pro-choice, pro-SSM, pro-climate change, pro-social welfare, against wars, pro-union, and so on? Ditto (in the opposite direction for Republicans).

Having said that, I apologize for designing an internet forum poll that does not provide 87 choices for increased precision.

You need to add libertarian. Some of us don't care about social issues but are very fiscally conservative.

Also, there are liberals in the Tea Party. The Tea Party has no political leaning. It is for getting back to the basics of government.

I thought that there were a number of different factions within the Tea Party, not just two.

Are they at peace with each other, or are they fighting each other?

Think SJW vs BLM.

Yes, I was very surprised libertarian was left out.

I am like most people I know: fiscally conservative, but socially liberal.

If the Republican Party would stop sabotaging itself with ultra-religious nutcase views, it would get a lot more support.
