The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a republican because I have moral values and standards as to how I think this country should be run. I miss the old days of where the man was the provider of the household and the woman was the mother who took care of the kids. I miss the times where one person could make an honest living just by working in the factory. I miss the times when immigrants were not that big of an issue and there were good and honest jobs for americans left. Now I am a republican because my side is taking this country back from the confusion this country has been invoked with.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe a political party should represent a variety of view points and opinions. Every one should be welcome and everyone's opinion should count. I think the government should stand up for people who are being mistreated and the government has the obligation to fight injustice. The government is the entity that is best suited to address systemic injustices, like poverty, racial disparity in the criminal system, and the broken health care system. An increased minimum wage, lighter sentences on marijuana based crimes, and universal healthcare are things that the U.S. needs and Republicans will not address these issues.

I am a Republican because I was raised by my parents who are Republicans, the morals and beliefs they have were encourage in me since childhood. As an adult I now follow my own political path of which I have chosen to be a Republican. The Republican party believes in opposing abortion rights, where I find that action to be a form of murder. Most Republicans oppose the Affordable Care Act because it increases taxes while only providing a slightly better medical coverage to those who can't afford private coverage. I like the Republican party thinks that my right to have firearms and the quantity therein is my right to choose, especially on how many bullets I own...(California). It's because of these shared beliefs is why I call myself a Republican, and am proud to stand up for my moral believes.

My values and traditions are very important to me. Being a Republican helps me to connect with more people that have the same values. I really like the way our country is right now and I support what our President is doing about immigration and foreign policies. I think that we need the leader that we currently have (Donald Trump) in order to be a stronger and more respected economy. I have seen that our country is getting better and stronger than ever. Being a Republican makes me feel proud about myself and about our country that really needed a radical change and we finally have it right now.

I am a DEMOCRAT because I was raised by 2 parents who strongly believed in the Democrat party. They made me aware of the differences of what the democrats and republicans stood for. Since I am a blue collar worker, I certainly can relate to the Democratic party more and more. Oh.. and did I mention that I am a single African American mother who really wants to see the possibility of my son getting a good education so that he has a chance at the real American dream. There certainly needs to be more equality in the US as far as pay equality, and I believe that the Democratic Party also finds that to be true.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in equality for everyone regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or income level. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity and that is a big part of the Democratic platform. There are many ways to achieve equality that are supported by the Democrats. I believe we should have better priced housing for low income individuals as well as affordable schools that all children can attend. We should increase welfare and make it easier to get on welfare, however we should also help people get off welfare by providing them with job training and free college. As far as defeating racism in the country, we need to train cops to better handle stressful situation. We need to impeach Trump and his horrible racist agenda. We need to teach children in schools about different cultures and religious and show them that it is important to love and respect everyone. I also believe in stopping climate change. We need to invest in wind and solar energy. We need to add more electric cars on the road and increase fuel efficiency of gas cars. We should also encourage companies decrease carbon emissions with subsidies. Overall, I am a Democrat because I believe in the ideals and goals of the Democratic party.

I am a Democrat because I believe in a fair tax system that does not reward greed. I believe in a economic security for all Americans not just for a small group. I believe in policies that benefit families and supprts them. I also believe that my values should be based on compassion and reason. Most of all I believe in that no one should go hungry and no one should be without a house, there should not be homeless people in the streets and suffering. I believe that we should improve as a country in all areas that are important.

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

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.

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

I am a Republican because it mostly identifies with my core values. The Republican Party has done a lot of great things for our country since it first began, and will continue to do well for future generations. Republicans have always fought for peace, security, and prosperity for the people and the nation. The Republican party has created an environment where it encourages people to take advantage of the opportunities to improve their conditions. The Democratic Party to me doesn't understand the majority of these values, and fails to make this country the way it should be. The Republican Party is the backbone and strength of our country, and our country always prospers when Republicans are in control.

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

I am a DEMOCRAT because my beliefs tend to lean to the liberal side of things. I am in favor of Obama Care and I feel that all people are entitled to have health insurance at a reasonable cost. I also strongly oppose building a border wall to keep immigrants from entering our country. I am a strong supporter of social welfare programs for the poor and disabled. I strongly support increases in pay for teachers across our country. I am also a supporter of programs to reduce student loan debt for college graduates. This would strongly improve our economy and make it possible for more young couples to buy or build homes.
