The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a REPUBLICAN because the Republican party has very similar viewpoints as my own. I share the same conservative values as the party. I believe in the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, guns rights, and equal rights among all of the citizens. I believe in a free enterprise economy and individual initiative, which I believe has given our country it's economic growth, prosperity and freedom. I am a Republican because I want to further protect these rights and freedoms and I believe the Democratic party has become too liberal and will lead to an unprosperous nation for all citizens.

I am part of religion that has a lot of similar beliefs to what Republicans believe to be correct. We believe that there should be laws about those who come in and out of the country while respecting each individual person and their circumstances. And going along with that we especially believe that humans, even though unborn have the right to life. We do not believe that abortion is an option and should be illegal at any point of the pregnancy. We also believe in self sustainability and being able to get yourself into the best position without relying to heavily on any organizational help (whether government or not). These religious reasons along with others have helped me to identify as a Republican.

I am a republican because the alternative is too scary. I firmly believe life starts at conception and there is ample science supporting this. But apparently it is more important for a woman to have free will as simply a vessel than it is to murder a life. The call for late term abortions is terrifying. I have to side with the party that values life. Additionally, socialism is reprehensible and flawed to the core. I grew up dirt poor, but my parents had dignity and strength and built a career for themselves. And I did the same. I worked hard to rise above what my parents could afford and embraced the foundations of America that if you work hard, you can go as high as you want to. Socialism is an idea of entitlement with no work. With no challenge. With no goal to better yourself. It is dependency, apathy and entitlement. I could never support a party that endorses that.

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

I am a DEMOCRAT because the overall policies of the party generally reflect my political opinions. For example, I believe that climate change is real and government should do something about it and to protect the environment. Also, I believe in standing up for the human rights and civil rights of all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. I believe that health care is a right for everyone and not a privilege for those few who can afford it. The Democratic Party, although imperfect, stands up for these values and works to improve the lives of all people.

I am a republican because I love America. I also am a republican the republican morals go hand in hand with my religious beliefs. I am pro guns and prolife. I am also in support of the wall being built to protect our borers. I feel that our President is doing a great job and I trust him very much. I truly think that he is trying very hard to make America Great again. I believe that republicans try to do what is best for this country in a fair and just way. I wish that the democrats would back off and let Trump run the country! Merica!

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

I am a Democrat because I believe their efforts and policies line up best with my personal political views. Democrats typically favor government run programs and services for Education and Health Care and I agree that the free pursuit of health and knowledge is a right all humans should enjoy. I am in disagreement with many of the Republican points of view, and our system regrettably is a two party system. Even with the rise of fringe parties, I find myself aligning most with the Democratic party because I feel they care. I honestly believe a good portion of the work done by Democrats is in the best interest of all people.

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

I am a REPUBLICAN because I work hard for everything I have. I pay my taxes and expect them to be used correctly by the governmental systems. The money I share for my hard work should pay for what the government is for. It should be helping the citizens that believe in what this country stands for. It should be used locally for roads to schools and keeping everything safe and secure. Federally that money is there to keep our nation in power and securing that power for it Citizens, it's business and the nation to succeed. Republican believe in their citizen to vote for keeping a stable America. A thriving economy, and land that is free from threats from foreign entities (Governments and Business's) and foreigners in general. We as a part only want what is best for the citizens in our society. We want a future for our jobs, Government, Retirement, Economy and our Families. This is why I am a Republican

I am a DEMOCRAT because it is the political position that resonates most closely with me. I was raised in a diverse community in California by liberal parents and followed the political doctrine that they themselves followed. As an adult, I am a fairly liberal lesbian who agrees with much the Democratic party has done in recent years. I am a strong advocate for racial, gender, and religious freedom and democracy as well as a proponent for education. I sit on a board for a local nonprofit that is dedicated to eradicating racism and sexism in our society and fully believe in our mission.

I am a Republican because I share in most of the beliefs of my party like not taxing the wealthy more and people should have the right to bear arms. I support free market and free enterprise. I value Christian beliefs. I support restrictions on labor unions. I totally support President Trumps proposal to build a wall and keep illegal immigrants out for good. It is time for Americans to reap the benefits of our own great country. I believe civil rights are individual rights and does not guarantee equality. National security should be our top priority above all else.
