The Ideological Turing Test

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

each person in society should be responsible for their own place within the society. In my opinion, the government's sole role is to enable people to secure the benefits of society for themselves, their families, and for those who are unable to do so for themselves. In addition, I am a strong supporter of the right to bear arms. I had a family member who was the victim of a home invasion and had they not had a gun in the home I do not know whether or not they would be here today. I am also a strong supporter of strict immigration laws. Immigrants who enter this country illegally should not be provided with the same benefits that legal citizens are. We pay into the system for a reason and illegal immigrants have no right to free load on the backs of other hard-working citizens.

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

I am a Democrat because I care about people. I believe all races in America deserve representation in government and society. I believe all genders are equally important and women deserve to also be in power. I also believe that immigrants deserve to be treated with kindness and they deserve a fair share of the American dream. As a Democrat, I believe that the LGBTQ community is important and they are deserving of marriage just like any other American. In addition, I believe every American should be entitled to healthcare and some sort of housing. Lastly, I believe that the rich should be taxed more because they have the money and they keep making more.

I am a Democrat because I believe in the progress of humanity. I believe in diversity, equality and the movement forward for all human beings. Being a Democrat is about sharing with others, including others and thinking about others instead of just yourself. It is about working with other people and feeling as though you are an included part of humanity and not some isolated entity who has to fight and compete with others to selfishly gain whatever they have in the world, as is the Republican way of looking at things. I am a Democrat because I want everyone to have a good life, not just myself.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe that people without power need a voice. This country is supposed to represent values of fairness and equality that should be applied to everyone. People that are wealthy, white, and come from privilege have an unfair advantage over those from other segments of society. It is harder for minorities, non-hetrosexuals, and people of lower economic class to to be equally represented in government and business. Being a Democrat is the best way to achieve fairness for everyone because they can influence change from within the government. Without power within government institutions then only a small number of elites will be able to influence laws and regulations which will only benefit themselves.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in basic human rights. I can understand that humans are made up of different races and genders, but deep down I think what's most important is that we are all humans. The Democratic party represents my feelings that abortion should be legal in the United States, gay couples should be allowed to marry each other, and children should be kept with their parents even if they are not United States. I don't believe that men are inherently superior to women; I believe in equal pay for equal work. I don't like the way Trump has been running the country. I think he stands for hate and I do not.

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

I am a Republican because I believe in what they are a part of. I would rather see money put back into the economy rather than farming it out to folks who are just asking for a handout. I want to see more jobs created so everyone has a fair share of getting a job. This will cut down on the amount of government assistance that is given out. Government assistance is not a bad thing, it has been misused. Folks do not want to work but will get money from the government to live on. I would like to see everyone work for a living. This holds more responsibility than begging from the government.

I am a Democrat because I feel the Democratic party has the best interests in mind for our country. Being a Democrat means that I believe that what has made our country great are the people who worked hard. Immigrants for example, have worked very hard and for do little to help make this country great. It takes all kinds of people from all kinds if backgrounds working together to achieve greatness for our country. Being a Democrat also means that I believe those from lower socio- economic backgrounds can rise above their circumstances to achieve many things like a college education. Being a Democrat means that I see makes and females as equals and should be treated as such, fir example equal pay for equal work. Being a Democrat, I have a great interest in ensuring equality for all Americans not just a priveledged few.

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

I agree much more with the policies of republicans. The Democratic party from what I can tell consists of insane people who want to treat illegals better than tax paying Americans and pass ridiculous laws that make no sense. Although I don't like thinking about or getting involved with politics, when I see or here the garbage that comes out of the mouths of Democrats and liberals, I am so often disgusted that I cannot in good conscience support them in any way. Republicans at least seem sane and don't need blankets and coco to deal the ""trauma"" of their candidate losing an election.
