It depends completely on the issue in question. ^.^;

I range all the way from quite far left, to quite far right, along with the many various points in between -- all depending on the issue being discussed.

In general I'm much closer to populist nationalist isolationist, or in one word "Trumpist", ^.~
than I am either to orthodox leftist or to orthodox rightist -- although I certainly do disagree with Trump on several points as well.

me:
I'd consider myself as being on the economic left-wing of and within the overall right-wing-populist movement. ^.^

Speaking of matters of this sort....

Pew Research very recently released a new edition of their "political typology" series:
http://www.people-press.org/2017/10/24/political-typology-reveals-deep-fissures-on-the-right-and-left/
http://www.npr.org/2017/10/24/559774933/2-party-system-americans-might-be-ready-for-8

the quiz itself:
http://www.people-press.org/quiz/political-typology/

Of the nine categories, the quiz placed me in "Country First Conservatives", and I feel that that's a reasonably good fit (except I certainly wouldn't call myself a "conservative" overall);
but I feel I'm also very very close to "Market Skeptic Republicans". An extremely close second place, virtually a tie.

Both "Core Conservatives" and "Solid Liberals" are alike in being quite different from me -- so again, I'm certainly neither "orthodox rightist" nor "orthodox leftist", just as I had said at the beginning.

But both "New Era Enterprisers" on the "right", and "Opportunity Democrats" on the "left", are both definitely and by far the furthest away from me; essentially my polar opposites.

Pew releases a new edition of this every few years or so.
In their past two editions, I did fit "Hard-Pressed Skeptics" quite well in their 2014 one, and "Disaffecteds" quite well in their 2011 one; both groups being in or near the middle, due to their mix of views considered "left" and views considered "right", crucially along with many views that don't fit either.

.

So, again, certainly not "left-wing" overall and also certainly not "right-wing" overall; so I didn't vote, sorry. ;.;
