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 our country has been governed by a conservative culture of greed, fear, power-grabbing, and religious fanaticism for far too long. We need real solutions to the oppression of the economically, physically, and socially vulnerable people who are our friends and neighbors. We need to put an end to the dominance of corporations and capitalistic practices that threaten our environment and the well-being of future generations. The Republican party has failed to make good on its promises to improve conditions for anyone but the very rich. The only way forward is to challenge the status quo and create real change.

I am a Republican in the first place because I believe in a lot of the beliefs that the Republican party has. I believe that Everyone should work for a living and earn everything that they have. I also do not believe that the government should not provide any type of assistance to citizens and that every citizens should be responsible for themselves. Another major reason that I am a Republican is because I am a big supporter of our president Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a Republican so it made me want to become a Republican also to support.

I am a republican because and Trump is doing an amazing job. Building the wall is something that America has to do because that is one way we can stop immigrants from illegally entering the US and which can now go to the next steps by making tougher rules on immigration. Deporting illegal immigrants won't be the best choice but having them held in Mexico would be better for the country so that we can't use our tax dollars to help them. Being a republican is great because the president thinks about America first before anything else. Make America Great Again.

Being a Democrat is the most liberated feeling in the world. We are truly the party of choice. We believe in open borders and the right of anyone to enter this country. We believe in upholding the abortion laws. What right does anyone have to take away a woman's right to choose whether she wants to abort or raise the child. We totally believe in gun confiscation an socialized health care. Who better can take care of us than the government? We are united in our hate of Donald Trump. We do not see him as a legitimate president and hope we can impeach him based on the controversial tweets he is always typing. We must stick together to overthrow this hateful man and take back the country.

I am a Republican because I believe in the American Flag and what it stands for. I am a Republican because I believe that America comes first even though we can help others but the citizens of this great country needs should come first.. I am a Republican because I believe in God and the country's religious values unapologetically. I believe that everyone has the right to express their own opinion and views and not be tormented for doing so. My final reason that I am a Republican is because my social and economic views lines up with that party.

I am a REPUBLICAN because I first registered Republican to get in better with my boss even though I was a diehard liberal. But while registered as a Republican I started to read the campaign literature of Republican candidates and some of it made good sense. In comparison, the Democrats running in these races seemed kneejerk and unable to take a reasoned view of issues. The Democrats ran nasty campaigns and seemed to rely on labor votes to win, not caring about other voters or their needs. In office, the Democrats were corrupt. So gradually, over a period of time, I shifted to being Republican because they are more reasonable and helpful politicians, locally, in my state and nationally. I don't agree with all Republican positions on issues, but I now consider myself to be a Republican.

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 democrat because I was raised to be a democrat. I am an African American woman, so are my parents, and their beliefs definitely influenced mine. As I grew up, I started to learn the ins and outs of politics and how much more Democrats seem to care about society at large, those who are minorities, and those who are pushed around by life in general. Republicans only care about themselves and the big business that are ruining America. Being a democrat shows that I care about someone other than myself and that reflects my own true views perfectly.

The Republican party has demonstrated that it wants to uphold traditional values-stemming from those set up by founders of the USA. In addition, the party is very open to new ideas and the new ideas can become traditional values as well. The party is conservative when it comes to economic issues. The government is for the people -smaller, less costly, government is something that is for the people. Larger government results in waste. There are many issues that can be reduced to state and local issues, but have been taken over by government employees. This is wrong and again, wasteful.

I am a Democrat because I believe in the views established by their democracy. They believe in the better good for Americans in our society today. They help to regulate laws that will benefit the people. Through health insurance, protecting rights of individuals, and trying to decrease federal spending, increase job availability, and helping ones in poverty. The are against building the wall to keep immigrants out. They are about everyone getting a chance at a better life, immigrant or not. They stand united where as Republicans want to continue to divide people. Republicans want to only help the rich get richer.
