The horizontal line (or x-axis in mathematical terms) represents one’s level of support for a particular policy initiative. For example, if the topic at hand is regarding equal opportunity or the fair treatment of people, the positive x-axis would be stances in favor of equal opportunity and the fair treatment of people. Individuals on the negative x-axis disagree with the policy or are critical of it.
 
The vertical line (y-axis) represents some kind of moral virtue. Individuals in the positive y-axis have high moral virtue whereas those on the negative y-axis are those who inherently have moral vice. The negative y-axis are also the "Troglodytes".
