That political compass you refer to has become utterly binary at this point though so never mind "cross-cutting;" it has never been more CLEAR-cut, the pandemic foreshadowing the grisly bottom line of our survival as a species. This looming reality certainly should have sharpened the focus of anyone who doesn't have their head up their own ass, because one side does not get it AT ALL, and even the side that DOES keeps veering away due to the daunting "nature" of this reality before us.
And speaking of bottom lines, the far more "libertarian" American response also really should have put paid to that definitively juvenile philosophy once and for all that truly begs the question, "have you MET people?" A million dead weirdly didn't even make a dent.
On one end of the spectrum (depending on education, as usual) there are the knee-jerk rebel-without-a pause guys but the more "erudite" end attracts the "everything-everywhere-all-of-the-time" guys who just resist labelling, preferring to imagine themselves as "beyond the fray."

Both need to grow up I'm afraid.
