The Ideological Turing Test

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

I feel like I am a Democrat because I feel I share the same values as they do. I believe in freedom of commerce, and also the laws and constitution of America. I believe that fellow Democrats are a bit more Liberal and willing to accept changes in this country. Also I feel Democrats are not so quick to go to war, and cause conflict. I feel like the way that they do politics is the way I prefer it to be handled. The votes are more concise, and they take more time to accept other opinions as well. The reasons I stated are the main reasons I feel I am a Democrat.

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.

Because the democratic party believes in many things I do, like cheap affordable healthcare, higher minimum wages, better environmental well-being, gun control, immigration and many other important views. Overall I feel like the democratic party has more interest in the average american, than the republican party believes in. I live in a strong republican state that no matter who the candidates are it always seems to be republicans that win...which means that this state is very conservative and old-fashioned. I feel like the democratic party is much better at future-progressive-thinking and is more open to new and better ideas.

I am a Republican because I agree with the views that Republicans affiliate with. Republicans oppose gun control and feel that we should not have stricter gun laws. I agree with this 100%. Everyone has the right to bear arms. Our rights to bear arms as citizens should not be taken away because their are people in the world that misuse guns. Republican party also supports lower taxes, with lower taxes on goods people would have more money in their pockets. This is why I am apart of the Republican party because I agree with the views they affiliate with.

I am a Democrat because I care about people. All people. I want to see all American citizens have a fighting chance. I believe in working together to create social programs that can help people around the country. Our country has a very bad track record for how they have treated minorities and those who are generally disadvantaged. We need to even the playing field. The government can step in and create laws, create services, that can help these people. I want to my vote to support those who are dedicated to ending division and bringing everyone on to one level.

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

I am a Republican because I believe that they are the only party that will keep the Constitution as the primary document for the government of the United States of America. I am extremely Pro-Life and the Republicans are the Pro-Life party. I am in favor of building the wall on the boarder with Mexico and the Republicans are the party of build the wall. I am very patriotic and the Republicans are the party of the Flag and the founders. I am a Republican because all the other alternatives represent wall street rather than we who live on main street. The Republicans have a path forward into the future that includes allowing individual liberty and the pursuit of freedom and the representative democracy in which we live. I will always be a Republican because they represent fiscal responsibility and they oppose the foolish notion of climate as something we humans are changing. I am further a Republican because we are One Nation under GOD and I believe that God blesses America each and every day. U.S.A, U.S.A. I am lastly a Republican because we have the greatest military in the world and we are not nation builders but the last hope of democracy for the entire world. The Republican party is the last best hope of freedom of thought, freedom of religion and the entire First Amendment of the constitution.

I am a republican because government is supposed to look out for the safety and well-being of its citizens. Allowing liberal policies to be enacted encourages people to break the law, take advantage of the welfare system and generally make life worse for decent working people. Allowing third-world immigrants to come into this country comes at a great cost, and not just financially--American citizen's lives are put at risk. If so many of our tax dollars didn't go to feed and house people from Mexico and South America, we could take care of American citizens who are homeless. There are people who are starving here because they are mentally ill and cannot work, while people who simply refuse to work are given free money. This ensures they will continue to vote for the democratic party.

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe in less government. I don't believe that we really should have the government responsible for every little thing. I don't believe the government is the answer to every problem. That will only lead to a much bigger problem. The more we depend upon the government the more we give up our freedom and liberties. I have the same compassion as the Democrats but people need to actually take advantage of the opportunities already put in place to improve their condition. People need to become more accountable for their situation in life. If they are not happy there are plenty of avenues to improve the way they feel about there lives.

I am a Republican because most of their positions and beliefs line up with mine. However I am not a total Republican because they seem like wimps and do not stand up with their beliefs and positions and just let the Democrats push them around. I always stand up with my beliefs no matter what. I do not change my mind just to please someone else. Some of the things that align with mine is I believe that this country was founded on the principles of serving God and country. That leaving God out of our schools and government causes a family breakdown in this country. Children are not disciplined at all and left in front of video or games to play. Parents seem to be working all the time and not raising their children leaving them up to the school districts to raise. This only produces a confused and distant personality that cannot cope with the worlds standards. We all need a foundation to stand on and includes the love of God in our lives.

I am a Republican because I believe each person is responsible for their own well being and place in today's society. I believe in free enterprise and feel that it is the government's fiscal responsibility to allow each individual to keep the hard earned money that they work for. I feel each citizen has the right to choose their own healthcare and their own way of managing healthcare costs. Marriage should be between one man and one woman. Preventive measures against illegal immigration as well as protecting our country should be priority number one. I believe each citizen of the USA has the right to bare arms. I also believe that tax reduction is extremely important, as low and middle class Americans are currently being overtaxed.
