The Ideological Turing Test

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am a Republican because I believe in democracy. I believe that as Americans we should focus on Americans and America first. This means providing for legal citizens only. It also means closing borders and stopping immigration and asylum seekers from coming into the country. America has strayed far from its original values and we need to go back. Abortions should be illegal and Roe v Wade should be overturned. America should also focus more on helping middle class citizens, meaning less free handouts. Cuts should be made to welfare and people should be required to have a job if they want any kind of benefits.

I am a a Republican because I am not a Democrat or a Liberal. As I grow older, my feelings and positions on many issues change, and some strengthen. I am someone who struggled with infertility for over nineteen years. Therefore, my position on abortion is quite firm. There are so many families who want babies desperately, with no way to have one. Why kill an innocent baby just because it's parents were careless? That child could have a loving family waiting for it. I also was taught to work hard and earn your living. I have a job that I enjoy for the most part, that pays a decent wage, so I can have a home and a car and food on my table. That's my responsibility, not someone else's. I shouldn't have to pay for someone else's food or home or car of phone, just because they don't want to work. I also believe in following the law. I am all for LEGAL immigration, but if you come here illegally, you should be shipped right back to where you came from, no questions, and no exceptions.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a DEMOCRAT because I believe in individual liberties, equality for all people of all races and income levels, and that women should have control over their own bodies. I believe that there are inherent advantages that come with being white, having money, or being from ""old"" families and in order to compensate for those advantages and make the country truly ""equal"" we need to provide government services. People naturally think of welfare and food stamps, but it's more than that. It's quality housing, education, job training, and a decent minimum wage. People against raising the minimum wage have probably only earned it when they were in high school and earning pocket money after school. Trying to support a family on even two full time incomes of minimum wage is difficult to impossible and offers a very low quality of life. In order to truly be a democratic and equal society we have to respect women's bodies and their authority over them. You only need to look at the #MeToo movement to see that we have a long way to go in this regard, and legalizing and providing a universal payor source for birth control and abortions is the way to go (yes, I said that. A PAYOR source for abortions, not just legal, but also provided with little to no cost to those who can't afford them, just like we do for EVERY OTHER necessary medical procedure in the country for those in poverty).

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I believe in a limited government. The more government stays out of the daily lives of its citizens, the better off the country will be. Citizens should be governed by their local government first, then by state government and last by the federal government. I also believe in citizens paying the bare minimum in taxes. I believe in a strong national defense. I don't think the government should be involved in welfare programs or entitlement schemes. Citizens should look after their own well being. Those in need should be taken care of only on a limited basis. Vote for Donald Trump in 2020!!!!

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a DEMOCRAT because I care about people. I want what is best for the country and the people in it. I believe that everyone should get a fair shot, and be treated fairly. I believe that we are not only able to take care of our citizens, but we have a moral obligation to do so. I believe that everyone deserves dignity and respect. I care about future generations and I want to make sure that we are setting them up for success. I believe caring for the environment is very important for our future and our present.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am Republican because I am pro-life. I cannot stand to see the idea of life thrown away. I also believe we are in desperate need of a wall at our southern border. The amount of illegal immigrants coming into our country is at an all-time high. We need strong leadership right now. I believe that Donald Trump is maintaining his promises on the campaign trail and I am elated about his choices for the supreme court. I think Donald Trump is setting our country up for success. It seems that America has lost sight of its identity and we are finally back on the right track. More jobs than ever are being created and our stock market is doing extremely well. I believe our military needs great funding and support without them we could not truly be a free nation. I think the Republican party is as strong as ever.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a Democrat because I believe that in our country, the poor should have the same opportunity for success as the rich. I believe in universal healthcare, the decriminalization of marijuana, and that women should have the right to choose. I am a Democrat because I believe that the other party is only out to make sure that the rich get richer. I am a Democrat because I wish to support the party who is advocating for paid parental leave and assistance with childcare. I would never support the party who wants to slash vital support for those who struggle to make ends meet.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a Democrat because I support combating climate change among other environmental issues. We only have one Earth and a finite amount of resources and we need to take better care of our planet. I strongly support protecting a woman's right to safe and legal abortion. Our body, our choice. It shouldn't even be an issue that we have to fight for in 2019. Every woman should have access to quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion—regardless of where she lives, how much money she makes, or how she is insured. I believe that reproductive health is core to everyone's health and wellbeing, not just women's because it affects everyone. I support

I am a republican because and Trump is doing an amazing job. Building the wall is something that America has to do because that is one way we can stop immigrants from illegally entering the US and which can now go to the next steps by making tougher rules on immigration. Deporting illegal immigrants won't be the best choice but having them held in Mexico would be better for the country so that we can't use our tax dollars to help them. Being a republican is great because the president thinks about America first before anything else. Make America Great Again.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am a Republican because I am a very conservative point of view. I do not believe in abortion. I support defunding Planned Parenthood. I strongly support free market capitalism and a strong national defense. I am a Christian with strong Christian values. I am a strong supporter of the National Rifle Association. I believe every American has the right to defend themselves. I also support clean air and water policies. I am not in favor of an increased minimum wage. I am strongly opposed to increased estate tax. I am almost 90 percent opposite of most Democrat. That is 100 percent truth.
