The Ideological Turing Test

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

I'm a republican because I believe in the american dream and freedom this country serves. I voted for Donald Trump because I'm tired of having to hear about the liberal majority who don't care about us working people. They said things would get better but when that no good Obama put in his Obamacare, it made everything harder and now I can't afford health insurance for my damn family. I'm tired of not getting my money back from the government and them wasting the money on people who don't deserve it, we work hard to get through life and that should be the case for everyone. I really do believe that Donald Trump can make America great again because it really needs a huge change. I also despise those liberals who support abortion, how can anyone end a life of a precious child? God gave life to Adam and Eve so that we can live on this earth so why would someone destroy such a beautiful gift. That's why I'm against abortion as it goes against my belief as a conservative Christian and my value is that life matters.

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

I am a Democrat because I'm very liberal. I believe strongly in equality and freedom Everyone should have the same opportunites no matter their gender, race, religion, etc. Education is very important to everyone and we all deserve a fair chance. Abortion is another issue on freedom that should protect and give woman a choice. It's our body and this is America. The environment is also a major and important concern. We are going through climate change and I believe we are the reason for that. We need more ecofriendly products and everyone needs to get together and protect the environment.

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

I am a Republican because I believe in small government and the ability of the American people to make their own decisions. America is the greatest country in the world, where anyone can succeed with enough hard work and perserverence. But in order to do this, we must be free from unreasonable regulations and outrageous income taxes. Republicans are realistic and understand that it takes a strong leader and a strong military to ensure our way of life continues. We are not idealists with good intentions but no idea how the world really works like most Democrats are. Republicans live in the real world.

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

I am a democrat because I believe in equality for all no matter your racial or economic background. In the US today there is so much inequality between groups of people and this is something I feel we should work together towards overcoming. Everyone deserves an equal chance at succeeding and I believe the Democratic Party is the Party that will take us there. Democratic Politicians work tirelessly to ensure the playing field is equal and everyone has a chance to succeed and follow the American Dream. This is why I identify strongly with the Democratic Party and consider myself to be a Democrat.

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

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 Republican because I think it's important to uphold our Constitutional rights. Also, I am not okay with going along with whatever the government does. I feel that as Republicans, we need to make sure that our rights are protected. I am not okay with many of the things that democrats believe in. While I'm okay with same sex marriage, I am not okay with abortion, illegal immigration and some of the other controversial topics that Democrats support. I am very much conservative, and believe in taking care of the people who were born in the country rather than those who are here illegally or who are from other countries.

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

I'm a Republican, because I believe in upholding the traditional ways of American life. I believe government is too big and we need to reduce its size. I believe abortion should be illegal and we shouldn't be killing innocent lives. I believe we need to close our borders and keep out all these illegals coming into our country. We also need to round up all the illegals that are already here and send them back to where they came from. I'm tired of them taking our jobs and using our healthcare system and food stamps. We shouldn't have to pay for that. They aren't Americans. Republicans understand this and are willing to do something to stop it.

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

I consider myself to be a democrat for many reasons. I think that the main reasons are abortion, equal rights, as well as corruption in politics. I am pro choice and believe that a woman should be able to make whatever choices she wants regarding her body. Equal rights is something I have personally been passionate about. It is unacceptable that the gap between the rich and poor is growing and that the middle class is being eliminated. We need to increase welfare spending, or figure out some sort of solution. It seems to me that the republican party is corrupted, trump got elected for gods sake!

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

I am a DEMOCRAT because I was raised by 2 parents who strongly believed in the Democrat party. They made me aware of the differences of what the democrats and republicans stood for. Since I am a blue collar worker, I certainly can relate to the Democratic party more and more. Oh.. and did I mention that I am a single African American mother who really wants to see the possibility of my son getting a good education so that he has a chance at the real American dream. There certainly needs to be more equality in the US as far as pay equality, and I believe that the Democratic Party also finds that to be true.

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

I am a republican mainly because of the things I read. I do not follow politics too closely but from what I understand my views mostly mesh with those of other republicans ( Although there are some instances where I seem to lean more to the democrats side ). The main issues that I believe make me more of a republican are gun control and illegal immigration. I believe in the 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms and I think that things are getting a bit out of hand when it comes to gun control laws. I think people need to be held accountable for their actions and not the inanimate object that was used. Like I said I don't follow politics too much but ""illegal immigration"" seems like a no-brainer to me. It has the word illegal in the name?? Who would be for this? I also somewhat favor a ""smaller"" federal goverment and allowing states to make their own laws. As far as other issues (abortion, same sex marriage, etc..) I am pretty much down the middle on.
