Exactly. I doubt American Republicans would be very tolerant towards (often far-left) Republicanism in Northern Ireland, particularly at its violent end.

I'm a right winger.
I selected "republican" from the list although the GOP doesn't necessarily represent my views nor do I its.

Socialist. I mean, I have views and ideals, and they best match up with socialism. That said, I get the appeal of Libertarianism on a gut level (I am a very unsocial socialist), and can understand the appeal amongst Aspies.
