The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a democrat because I believe in the democratic values. Democrats believe in helping people. They stand up for equality among the races. They stand up for seniors and children. They want to protect medicare for seniors. They want to make sure children have medical insurance like medicaid if their parents cant afford it. They also believe in social services to help people. Services like help with utility bills, help with food help with medical and housing. Democrats like to see people taxed fairly and the people who are on the top 1% need to pay more taxes to make it fair. Democrats are the party of my choice.

I am a Democrat because I agree with the policies Democrats support. I am about gun control, I believe government assistance is necessary in this nation, I feel we need immigration control, and to let more people into our nation. I support women's rights and the rights of everyone in this country. I don't believe in a country for the rich, but a country for everyone even those who aren't born with money. I despise Trump and what he's turned our nation into. He represents all the bad in our country, and how the power of one can be so negative. Democrats are are more for the people. They care more. That is why I'm a Democrat.

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

I am a Republican because America is a Republic, not a democracy. The heated tempers of the day need to be moderated by divided government. Looking at history, the true dangers to personal aspirations come from authoritarian governments not from worker exploitation. From the French revolution when the demand for change and reform devolved into inter-class warfare to the Russian revolution when the old order was overthrown and replaced by a murderous regime that was willing to starve its own people in the name of progress - governments are the opponents of people who are willing to work hard in the hopes of improving the situation of themselves and their families. The Democratic Party survives by engendering outrage on behalf of those who are easily convinced that the reason they lack a good, a status, or an opportunity is because others are secretly gaming the system. They encourage Americans to blame others, covet others' property, and cease working toward a future where individuals control their own fate. Keep government out of the way and people with pride and intelligence will succeed. Place government strictures in the way and those who lack the desire for freedom will be a little better off, but hard-working strivers will be much worse off. Our creator made us to be free, not equal.

I am a democrat because I believe in the betterment and welfare of humanity. My beliefs are more on the understanding and empathetic side, compared to someone who is republican. I believe all Americans have the right to universal healthcare. I'm a democrat because I believe we as a country need to have gun control. There is no reason automatic weapons and weapons of war should be legal for anyone to purchase in this country. I believe people should have the right to citizenship in this country, as long as they are entering the country legally. I consider myself a democrat because I believe everyone deserves a fair shot at success, not just the top 1% of people who hold the wealth in this country.

I agree much more with the policies of republicans. The Democratic party from what I can tell consists of insane people who want to treat illegals better than tax paying Americans and pass ridiculous laws that make no sense. Although I don't like thinking about or getting involved with politics, when I see or here the garbage that comes out of the mouths of Democrats and liberals, I am so often disgusted that I cannot in good conscience support them in any way. Republicans at least seem sane and don't need blankets and coco to deal the ""trauma"" of their candidate losing an election.

I'm a Republican because I was raised in a God-fearing, Sunday School-attending, small business-owning family in a small town in the Midwest. I'm a Republican because I love what they stand for. Republicans fight to keep our taxes low so we can keep our business afloat and thriving. They fight for my second amendment rights so I can protect my home and business and hunt game to feed my family. Above all, they fight to protect the most innocent souls in the world - those belonging to unborn children. I know it isn't considered sophisticated to say these days and the coastal elites will roll their eyes at me, but I'm a Republican because I love God and I think Jesus and his teachings should be taught to every child in every school across this great country.

I am a Democrat because pro-choice, income equality, social welfare, gun control, and universal healthcare and that these are things that any and all Americans should have. I have supported and voted for people that I felt are much better for this country. Donald Trump and the Republicans stands against everything I believe in and they have done a lot of damage to this country. We were doing great under President Obama and this country should of elected Hillary Clinton in 2016. What we have to do is come together and vote Dontard out of office in 2020. If not, I might as well move to Canada.

I am a Republican because my father is a republican. I grew up in a majority democrat state. However I believe democrats are too far fetch with a majority of their ideas. I am old school in my beliefs to an extent, which is generally why I am a republican. I believe that democrats tax policy does not help the middle class as much as the republicans tax code or plan. I also favor the stock market when a republican is president. Seems that the republicans are better for the economy. The ideas put forth by the democrats generally sink the economy.

I am a DEMOCRAT because I believe in a more modern approach to politics and society. I feel that each person is their own self and should be able to make choices as such. I support gay marriage. I was actually a surrogate for a gay couple because I believe so strongly in it. I believe people should be able to own guns if they choose to do so. I believe that change can be very good in society and we should strive to modernize society and change as needed to reflect current beliefs and values. This is why I am a democrat!

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

I am a Republican because I believe in the American dream. Everyone has the same right to work to make the best life for themselves. No one handed our founding fathers this country. They had to fight for it. We need to keep fighting to keep our country safe from terrorists and people who are illegally coming here to take advantage of all of the benefits Americans have worked hard for. I mean I wish college could be free and everyone could have healthcare and immigrants could figure out how to work the path to citizenship or whatever, but none of that is realistic or fair. America is the greatest country on earth, and it's because real Americans want to work hard to keep everything running. I'm a Republican because it doesn't make sense to force some people to work hard so that people who are lazy don't have to (just saying).
