The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am Republican because I agree with working hard and making a living and not having things given to you. I don't agree with handouts and all these people getting free insurance when we have to work hard to get what we have. I also think that if people are going to get government handouts that they should be subject to the same drug testing that I have to do to make the money to pay for things for them. I believe that people should follow the teachings of God and that American should go back to the traditional values. More legalization of immigrants and same sex marriages is corrupting America and American values.

I am a republican because I believe in this country! I believe in our flag flying high!! I believe in capitalism not socialism or communism. Republican's believe in our military and should be respected for all that they do. We honor our troops in the US and around the world that fight for our country and want to bring peace to places that people are being harmed or misused. Republicans believe this country was founded on God and his principles. The bible is important to most republicans. Republicans believe in our constitution and our founding fathers. The year 1776 means a lot to republicans.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe that everyone should be given an equal chance at prospering in life. It does not matter where we come from or how we got to this country, we Ideserve a chance at happiness, basic health insurance, and equal pay regardless of gender or race. I also believe that women should have a say over their bodies, and are able to do anything a man can in society. I also am against most of what Trump is pushing, especially the wall on the border. That money could be better used to help the poor and middle class.

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

I am a democrat because I believe in equality. Not that the democrat party is good but it is the best option if you want to see people he a equal chance at having a happy and healthy life. I like the democratic parties push for universal health care. Ultimately to really achieve equality rich people are going to have to give up some of their wealth to lower income people and i think the republican party protects the rich far too much. Overall i am a democrat because its the best option in a two party system but i would have them go farther to the left of they could.

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

I am a REPUBLICAN because I strongly believe in limited government and personal freedom. This country was founded so people could pursue their dreams and not be encumbered by rules or government. This applied to who your worship, what you said, where you could assemble and your ability to own private property. While I do not agree with the Republicans on everything, they are the party the best protects those freedoms. Today, progressives are not for speech (unless it what they agree with it) and they enjoy taking away private property or forcing people to buy things they think are needed. They also like to prevent people from buying certain things. Republicans talk about less spending and less taxes more so than the other party but neither do a good job of reducing spending. The Republicans are far form perfect but they represent my values more so than others.

I am a Republican because my father, his father, my mother and her mother were Republicans. I was a strong Reagan supporter who fell in love with his actions to make the Berlin wall fall. He was a believer in people, he was a no nonsense guy who got things done. I am a Republican because I believe a free market system is good for all parties. I believe people need to work for a living instead of living off welfare. While I agree we need to help those in need to get back on track, it can not take 40 years to get there.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in the views established by their democracy. They believe in the better good for Americans in our society today. They help to regulate laws that will benefit the people. Through health insurance, protecting rights of individuals, and trying to decrease federal spending, increase job availability, and helping ones in poverty. The are against building the wall to keep immigrants out. They are about everyone getting a chance at a better life, immigrant or not. They stand united where as Republicans want to continue to divide people. Republicans want to only help the rich get richer.

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

My parents were democrat and I was raised as one. My views are that of a democrat. I believe in abortion rights, same sex marriage, better healthcare, and better immigration rights. I believe government should reward businesses only after they have created jobs for Americans. I think a free enterprise system for working and middle class is a great idea. I believe in limited government and limited big business. I believe the rich don't always earn their wealth, and the poor frequently aren't to blame for their poverty. No one should be homeless, jobless, or neglected. I think prisons should be violent criminals, not drug addicts.

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

I am republican because I believe in lower taxes, the ability to defend yourself, and capitalism. I would rather have lower taxes and do with what I want with that extra money versus giving it to the government to hand out in social program, that most all of them fail and are bankrupt. I also am a strong believer in the 2nd amendment of the right to bear arms. Guns save more lives than they are taken. The right to bear arms also protects you from a tyrannical government. I believe in a capitalistic system of running things. Socialism has never worked in any country and never will work. With capitalism it encourages people to start companies and makes it a lower pricing for the consumer. Along with that the majority of republicans believe in border security and knowing who is in your country, in which I am in favor for.

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

I am a democrat because I believe in the right to live however you want to live, it is not in my wheelhouse to judge anyone, and I think our policies in government should reflect that. I also identify as a democrat because I believe that there are serious inequalities in this country that need to be taken care of, and only one side of the isle, the democrats, seem to actually care about the rights of minorities, the working class, and actually fixing the systematic problems we have currently which has made this inequality so glaringly obvious to everyone in the first place.
