The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am Democrat because I believe in equality. I feel that everyone should have an equal opportunity in this country despite what type of situation they were born into. I feel that Republican people based too many things on status and are too concerned with hoarding all the money for the powerful 1 percent. I do not feel they care about making the country a place where all people deserve to make a living and survive. I feel like Democrats are more open to allowing all people to have a place in society. This makes all the difference to me and is the reason why I chose to become a Democrat.

I am a Republican because, since I was young, the Republican ideals most closely match my own, both economically and socially. Particularly with regards to the current Democratic extremism, I simply can't align myself with the majority of their positions. Among my numerous conservative beliefs, I believe in small government, the right to own guns, the right for free speech, and the corrosion of American principals due to the increasing influx of foreigners and foreign influence. All of these beliefs are diametrically opposed to the current Democratic way of thinking. As well as all that, the current upswell of SJW virtue signaling is tiresome and too often detrimental to the sociological fabric of our country.

I am a Republican because I believe in old-fashioned family values and always being among the righteous. When we follow the liberal way, it sets us on a dangerous path. First, it starts with gun control. Then, it's the right to raise my children the way I see fit. What's to stop them from coming up with more cockamamie methods of control and harming my freedom? The Republican Party backs my views as an American. They stand for what is right, just and moral. I back them because they are willing to fight for me, my values and my right to be me.

I am a Democrat because I understand that the freedoms in our society are very precious and rare. I believe that our government is for the people and not to help corporations. I believe our tax dollars should be for making our education stable and high quality. I believe money spent to help our children helps them become stable and productive adults. Greed should be taken out of our government and corporations should not have control over it the people should. Those who are corrupt in our government should be help accountable for their actions and the should be investigated and prosecuted.

I am a Democrat because it's the only political party that comes close to matching my views about gun control, racial injustices, and climate change. Also, this party has candidates who are much more diverse in regards to race, gender and religion - and these candidates actually hold powerful positions. As a black female, this is the only political party that have prominent black females holding positions and making changes rather than be someone's puppet. Although no party is perfect and views differ internally, the Democratic party always leaned more towards what's fair than what's exploitation of the American people.

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe in traditional values, which are greatly informed by my Christian faith. Only the Republican Party represents me on issues like abortion and traditional marriage. I am also a strong believer in small government and the Republican Party most closely aligns with my views. I don't think people should be given handouts that they don't work for and think that such handouts only discourages work by the recipients. If we cut this entitlements and were able to cut taxes, everybody would be better off because the economy could run more efficiently and everybody could have more money in their pockets.

I am a Democrat because I believe in equality and equal opportunity for all people. I agree with their principle of majority rule and that everyone rights are not dependent on race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. I agree with their principles of tax for benefit rather than cut taxes and provide less services. My views are more close to the democratic ideology than the republican or libertarian ideologies. I believe in everyone's rights to achieve success by hard work and dedication. I believe in inclusion rather than division. I believe in participation and representation rather than apathy and control.

I am a Republican because I believe in a more conservative government with fewer rules and regulations. I fell we should be taxed less and our dollars used for more important things than just paying for those who do not work or choose not to work. I am 100% behind President Donald Trump and his policies. He has given us the greatest economic boom times in many, many years. He gave us all a tax cut and also started the process of making the IRS more simplified, including filing our taxes. I am also against all illegal immigration and feel the border wall must be built now to protect all of us.

I am a Democrat because I believe that people without power need a voice. This country is supposed to represent values of fairness and equality that should be applied to everyone. People that are wealthy, white, and come from privilege have an unfair advantage over those from other segments of society. It is harder for minorities, non-hetrosexuals, and people of lower economic class to to be equally represented in government and business. Being a Democrat is the best way to achieve fairness for everyone because they can influence change from within the government. Without power within government institutions then only a small number of elites will be able to influence laws and regulations which will only benefit themselves.

I am a Democrat because I value the original principles this country was founded on. These principles include accepting people as they are and treating people equally, as that is what acceptance is. As a woman, a child of immigrants and a person of color, the Democratic party's culture of openness and tolerance directly and indirectly benefits me in many parts of my life. The Democratic party is also less tolerant of bigoted behavior than the Republican party is. The current president reflects upon this country extremely badly, yet the Republican party stands behind him with loyalty despite his diverse shortcomings.
