The Ideological Turing Test

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

I believe that the world climate is changing rapidly and it will be irreversible unless something is done, NOW! That the Paris Climate Accord is valid and should have been ratified by the senate and that Donald Trump should have honored to work done by the previous administration. I believe the so called 'emergency' at the border is concocted and that all peoples, regardless of race, should be allowed to enter the country and accorded free medical treatment and offered jobs that no one else will take. That 'Obama Care' should allow for all within the borders of our great land to take advantage of for their relief from suffering.

I am a democrat because I despise the USA. I was born on the wrong side of the tracks and have always been a victim of my skin color and my low IQ. Because I couldn't make progress in life, even though I was given every handout, people who had a more fortunate birth are my enemies. Christians are my enemies. The American family is my enemy. I hate law and order. I want to destroy the progress of humanity. I think every woman should have an abortion. I have a communist heart and don't think people should live freely to pursue happiness. I think all people should live as communist slaves.

I am a democrat because I agree with their ideology more so than that of republicans. Democrats are more open to the idea of progressively evolving and equality for all human beings regardless of race and gender. They have always done their best to strive for change, in hopes of helping everyone experience the same rights and prosperity. Democrats may not always be right, but their ideas come from the heart and are always based on a deep desire to help the unfortunate and oppressed people of our nation. This is why I am a democrat and why I will remain a democrat.

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

I am a Republican because most of my stand are things that Republicans stand for. I am a religious person, therefore, most of my stands are based on what the Bible says. I don't support same sex marriage because the Bible clearly states that God created man and woman. I also don't support abortion because the Bible states that every life is precious and we have no right to take any life especially if it's just for our own convenience. I have a more conservative outlook in life because mostly I base my morals on what the Bible says. These I think are what Republicans also stand for.

I am a democrat because I believe that everyone should have a fair chance to succeed in America. America should not only be for the 1%. There should be opportunities for all Americans to be successful and be able to support their families. America is a melting pot. People of all races, sexual orientation, and age should be included and embraced. Let’s send a message to Washington that white rich bigots do not represent me. Democrats need to unite and stand up for what is right and what we believe in to get this country back on the right track.

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe in smaller government. I also believe in smaller taxes and less government spending on social programs. Basically the Republican party is conservative and feels the government should have limited intervention in business and economy. We are known as the GOP (Grand Old Party) and our party opposed slavery in the new territories all the way up to complete abolition. Now guess who was the first Republican President? Abraham Lincoln but it is strange because before Lincoln the two political parties were united and called the ""Democratic Republicans."" We Republicans also have had more Presidents elected than the Democrats did. (19 Republicans - 13 Democrats.)

I believe the strength of our great nation comes from people as individuals. I believe in working hard to get to where you want in life. The american dream has always been work hard and you will thrive. I believe people should help each other, but not intervine in someone else's life. I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability. I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least.

I am a Republican because it is the most logical choice. I have conservative values and believe the world would be a better place if more people had the same values and principles that I share. To be a Republican, I want what's best for our country, and I stand for the morally ethical decisions that can help our world. I fully trust that out President, Donald Trump, who is a Republican is doung the best job he can for everyone here in the United States of America. I believe in Freedom of Choice, I am against abortion, and I support Gun Rights. I believe everyone has a voice that at least should be heard. I think abortion should only be a last resort if the mother and child are at risk of death. I believe it's the people that misuse guns are the killers, not the gun itself. We need our guns to protect ourselves in this scary world we live in. These are just some of the reasons I feel like a Conservative person with Republican beliefs and values.

I am a Democrat because I believe it is the less harmful of the two major political parties in our country right now. I believe in more liberal causes such as a woman's right to choose, LGBT rights, closing concentration camps at the border, etc. I do not believe in most of the political ideology to the right which does not benefit the middle class or those below it.These views are not widely welcome within the Republican Party. I am also a Democrat because I want to help garner support for candidates to run against Trump for president, and give them the support so that they may actually be able to win.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe that sustainability should be a primary focus when making any decision. Our environment is fragile and we are approaching, if not already past, a tipping point. I tend to lean towards liberal decisions when confronted with decisions. I believe that the government needs to be involved more closely with social welfare programs and economic issues. I believe in civil rights for all people, separation of church and state, and believe in gun control (I do not want guns to be taken away from citizens, ever, however there should be more regulation). I also do not believe in unilateralism or isolationism. Dealings with foreign countries should be handled through international institutions.
