The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a republican for many reasons relating to social and economic issues primarily in america. I am strongly against abortion because I actually went into labor at 22 weeks and had weekly ultrasounds, i saw how much my kids were human even at that point. The connection a person has with a baby growing inside them is natural and to think that there are people who dont feel the same sort of sickens me. I have worked hard for everything I have, which isnt much, but to live and see others who do nothing and get free handouts is crazy - they buy steaks with food stamps where i can barely afford chicken. The fact that people want to make these programs bigger when they are often living better than me just boggles my mind. All sides have issues, but i cant stand with people who want to kill baby humans or take my money to let people eat steak every night.

I am a Republican because I believe in my country and the principles that it was founded on. The United States has been going down hill because of leftists, Democrats, and social justice warriors who continue to encourage degenerate values. We need to go back to our Christian values and care for our own people. Nowadays, we encourage illegal immigrants to cross over into our country and bring violence and drugs with them. They are taking advantage of our systems. Our citizens have gone crazy and continue to defend those that want to harm us. Nowadays even saying something that is not politically correct can end your entire career. We have to cater to minorities and homosexuals. I know for a fact that they get treated better than people like me, who founded this great country. I am sick of it.

I am a republican and I am proud! Trump is doing a great job running the United States. Even though they have kids locked up like animals so what? That's not my problem. They have overcrowding in the detention area, but whose fault is that? They should of stayed right where they were and dealt with the conditions. I hope Trump will eventually build the wall and keep the minority out and maybe we can start to kick out some minorities that live in the United States as well. I never believed that the United States was a melting pot so maybe we should drop that saying about the US.

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

First I am a democrat because I believe in total equality for all people. Equal rights for all races, religions, gender or sexual preference. I believe that democrats want you to achieve anything that you set out do do. I also believe that we should allow immigrants to come here and live by our rules. I think they have a right to be here if they do. And the democrats do not believe in the death penalty without 100% proof. I also believe that abortion is always the females right not the government's right. It is our body not the peoples body.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in fairness and equality. I believe in the right to choose to have (or not have) an abortion. I believe in enacting laws that prohibit discrimination based on gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. I believe in protecting the environment, especially in the face of the challenges created by the very real, human-created climate change. I believe in separation of church and state, freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, as established in the first amendment. I believe freedom of assembly means we have the right to protest when our government does wrong. I believe the second amendment was meant to establish the right to bear arms in specific circumstances, and does not mean private citizens can have an arsenal of weapons designed to murder efficiently. I believe in taxing those who have plenty to provide for the needs of those who have little. I believe the government exists to serve all the people in America, not just those who are wealthy.

I am a Democrat because I believe in social justice for all those who are underrepresented. The democratic party is one of the only outlets that give these people a voice. I believe in diversity because if there were only one group or race of people in the world, it would be a very boring place. I believe that wealth inequality in this country is astronomically unfair and the democratic party stands for making life fair for everyone. This country, like most countries, has great wealth and great poverty. It is a fight that needs to be fought in a peaceful, intelligent and effective way and the democratic party is the forum of action used to accomplish this goal.

I am a Republican because I agree with more of what they stand for on many issues facing this country, I dont agree on all of them but I agree with their standing more than I ever would with the Democrats. The Democrats stance on things in this country are ridiculous and outrageous. I used to be a Democrat a couple of years ago until Obama got elected then I went right wing and decided that I liked the Republicans much better and that i agree with what they stand for verus the Democrats. So that is why I am a Republican.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe everyone deserves to be respected and treated equally regardless of where they were born, sexual identity, gender, race, etc. I think women have the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and love is love. I am a Democrat because I believe in helping those less fortunate and because I care about the environment and want to stop global warming. I think everyone that wants to be here has a place in this country. And finally, I am a Democrat because I believe in political leaders much better than the current President.

I am a republican because I believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times. To me the strength of our nation lies with the individual and each person's dignity, ability, freedom and responsibility must be honored. We as Americans should value and preserve that national strength while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout all parts of the world. Based on these attributes, I feel that the republican party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

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

I am a republican because above all, I care about this country. While I don't agree with every single republican policy, the overall views of the GOP align with the direction that I think this country needs to go in. We need people in government who will put our economy first, even if that's not always the popular decision. We need people who will work to be sure that America always come out on top, even if the decision doesn't always benefit everyone right when the decision is made. When I think about the future of this country, I'm thinking long-term, rather than short-term, and I think the republican party thrives there. It's easy to look ahead a few months, a year from now, but it takes more thinking to plan out laws and bills that will ensure our country's success for decades to come.
