@Dr.Franklin
I had a feeling all of us paleocons would score around that range

@Incel-chud
So, you feel that you are authoritarian?

@RationalMadman
I think I have some authoritarian urges.

When it comes to pet ownership, Democrats and Republicans can agree on one thing…and that’s dogs.
Dog owners are just as likely to come from either side of the political spectrum.
Cats, on the other hand, are slightly more likely to be found in Democratic homes. [**]

. It is interesting to note that those people who classify themselves as liberals are more favorable to cats (27%) than their conservative compatriots (17%).

@bmdrocks21
from your link,
81% of those surveyed say that they like or love dogs.

@bmdrocks21
a ten percent variation is hardly "conclusive"
it is impossible to know if an individual is "left" or "right" leaning simply by the type of pet they own or the type of animal they say they "prefer"

And you said that cat AND dog lovers are evenly distributed.

And incel's test isn't meant to be conclusive, either. A ten percent difference based on Americans who are otherwise pretty similar people is quite significant. Noticing the difference gives some insight into the underlying causes of the difference, which it seems is the point of the test

this would seem to be somewhat of an overstatement
traditionally, "conservatives" have been very pro-authoritarian
today, "liberals" seem to be much more pro-authoritarian than the "conservatives"

ok,
dog lovers are evenly distributed
cat lovers favor self-described "liberals" by approximately ten percent
perhaps not the "best indicator" to hang your hat on
