The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a Democrat because I agree with many of the positions they take, especially in terms of social issues. I don't agree with many of the positions of the RNC, who have largely been taken over by zealous evangelicals and people only out for themselves without acknowledgement of the need to preserve this great society those before us have built. I also just think that the RNC does a horrible job of offering the public good, viable, and qualified candidates. I hate Trump, hated Romney, hated Palin (although I didn't hate McCain, even if I disagreed with him on many issues), and wasn't a big fan of Bush either. I also think that continuing to espouse the value of Reagan voodoo economics is very stupid and part of the reason for so much economic disparity in the US.

I am a Republican because I believe that the government in the United States has been getting too involved in the people's lives - and that we need less government interference telling us what to do. I believe that too many people in this country are benefiting from the hard working Americans that actually contribute. We have too many people on welfare and receiving social services who can no longer provide for themselves independently, and I think that is sad and terrible. I also think that the Democratic party has become totally corrupt and is moving further and further towards socialism which will lead to our country falling apart unless we do something.

I am a Democrat because I am a progressive thinker. I am a Democrat because I believe this country is headed in the wrong direction. I believe that medical insurance is a right for all and the government should pay for it. I believe we should open the borders and let people from other counties come in. As a Democrat, we should have an open-door policy. I am a Democrat because I believe we should have free education for all. That means that all students graduating from High School or young adult that want to attend High School can do so. This would be best for our country.

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

I am a Republican because I believe in many of the core beliefs of the party. One of my main beliefs is that abortion is wrong and should be illegal. Life is sacred and according to my beliefs in Christianity, it should never be extinguished, regardless of the reason. Another core belief of mine is the right to bear arms. I feel that it is my right under the constitution to carry and keep a firearm. Yet another reason I prescribe to the Republican platform is my conservative leanings regarding fiscal and social matters. I believe that government should be small and non-invasive into citizens lives and freedoms. The Government should also limit its involvement into providing social services like the many welfare programs and subsidies. People need to take personal accountability for themselves and if needed, seek assistance from churches, family, or non-profit charities. Lastly, I am pro-military and believe there is not a more honorable profession than to possible give your life for your country. The men and women in the armed services are heroes.

I am a Republican because I used to be a Democrat. As silly as that is to type, it's the God's honest truth. The Democrat party has moved so far left, plugging rights for illegal immigrants, ignoring everything horrible Obama did (spying on press, weaponizing the IRS, spying on Trump etc.etc.) and still pretends they're morally right. I officially changed my registration during the 2012 election, and I haven't looked back. The Democrat party is the anti-American party, and I just don't see how they course-correct. Everyone who disagrees with them is racist/bigot/etc.etc. It's sickening and it's dishonest, and the Republican party has been the party that is far more interested in protecting our rights. The Republicans are the party of free speech, non-insane laws, and freedom in general. Anyone who could be a Democrat after the disastrous Obama years and current trajectory of the party just isn't watching.

I am a Republican because I believe in the preservation of our country and keeping us on the right path. We need to take care of ourselves first and stop worrying about other countries or foreigners when there are people who need help right here. I don't think anyone should be able to take away my God-given rights, like owning a fire arm, praying to just one God, and saluting the American flag. I think that my money should go toward things that I actually care about, like the military and police, not paying for the welfare of other people I don't know.

I believe in a free market and also sharing wealth with other wealthy people. i think it is important for the government to stay out of our private lives as much as possible and to allow the free market to do its things free of interference. i think that this is the best way for things to go in general. believe in freedom of religion and being who you are are so long as it doesnt step on others lives as a whole. this is why i am a republican

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

I am a Republican because I beleve that there are certain aspects of our society that work, that are important structures that hold our society together and they should be preserved so that we have that stable foundation. It is my opinion that that is the core of conservatism and that that is what the Republican party stands to do. The Republican party holds our country together my representing the core values that holds our culture together and keeps it from crumbling, and it represents the people who hold thous values, the rural Americans who are often overlooked forgotten and mocked.

I am a democrat because I believe in equality for all no matter your racial or economic background. In the US today there is so much inequality between groups of people and this is something I feel we should work together towards overcoming. Everyone deserves an equal chance at succeeding and I believe the Democratic Party is the Party that will take us there. Democratic Politicians work tirelessly to ensure the playing field is equal and everyone has a chance to succeed and follow the American Dream. This is why I identify strongly with the Democratic Party and consider myself to be a Democrat.

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

I am a Republican. I believe in small government and low taxes. I believe in capitalism unfettered by unnecessary government regulations. I believe everyone can and should make their own way in life. If someone is not able to work they should be helped at the local community level through churches and other organizations, not by the government. I believe in traditional values and traditional families. I believe the Constitution was ordained by God and that the United States is an exceptional country and should be held up as standard for the rest of the world. I believe every life is precious and that life begins at the moment of conception. I believe in the real America.
