[Battista Minola 1616]

This next person is your grandfather, isn't it?

Also, you totally destroyed my previous character to be honest.

Yeah, lol. He was actually a giant Trump supporter to the point where he told me that I was being brainwashed by the liberal media because I said that illegals shouldn't be in prison camps. It's surprising to me because he was a very intelligent person but he was kinda racist lmao. He passed away this past June but I was just curious to see what his information would make him.

lol im sorry, was that your wife?

Oh I'm sorry for him. It was just so crystal clear given your previous post about yourself, although I just assumed he were also alive.

Lmao no hahaha it was a fictitious character, just I would have never expected anyone to answer "socially liberal fiscally moderate".

[Battista Minola 1616]

I knew about muh soccer moms and about muh wine moms but I hadn't heard yet of painting moms. Anyway pretty clear NIMBY liberal Democrat.

Hometown - Lecco, Italy
Location - Bergamo, Italy
Religion - Very devout Catholic
Relationship status - Married (currently pregnant for the first time)

P.S. Not totally my invention. Smart people will know who she is supposed to be.

[Battista Minola 1616]

Lucia from The Betrothed would vote for whoever the most viable non-Lega candidate was because The Betrothed is a pro-Italian unification text.

Congrats!

"Smart people" indeed. If it wasn't already clear (see: my signature), I Promessi Sposi is probably my favourite book.

(skip)

[Battista Minola 1616]

Democratic voter, somewhat communitarian, Warren/Sanders in the 2020 primaries.
What book is that even though. A quick Google scan suggests Joseph Citro?

Relationship status - Single
Hometown - Somewhere in France
Location - Paris, France
Education - College degree

[Battista Minola 1616]

Eleanor Vance from The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.

I don't know yours, but I get the vibes of your typical PS->LREM guy.

Interesting.
Mine was Pierre Ruche from Denis Guedj's The Parrot's Theorem. What can I do, I study Mathematics.

Yours is Sherlock Holmes who I imagine as very apolitical and hostile (but in a cunning and hyperintellectual way) towards all politicians.

I'll let someone else create the next character.

[Battista Minola 1616]

Perry Mason? I'll use the most recent iteration of the character and say he'll vote for FDR over Hoover.

Not Nathan but it was Philip Marlowe lol

Yours ranges from enthusiastic Biden voter to reluctant Trump voter depending on the level at which he traded stocks I guess.



Next one's gonna be fun:

Ethnicity - Italian
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Engaged, with a little baby
Current location - Forlì, Italy
Religion - Non-religious
Education - Some college

[Battista Minola 1616]

Battista is probably a PPD/MS5 swing voter

Uuuh I said it would be fun!
It was noted Socialist Party activist Benito Mussolini in 1911.

(skip)

[Battista Minola 1616]

Usual Liberal voter for Canadian elections and PS voter for Portuguese elections but not a party hack. At the moment he probably likes Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa more than PM Costa. Is not caring too much about the incoming Azorean elections in October.


Next hypothetical person:
Gender - Male
Age - 40
Race - "Mestizo"
Ancestry - Mexican

Current location - Scottsbluff, NE
Religion - Protestant, non-denominational

[Battista Minola 1616]

The Evangelical equivalent of the "leftcath starter pack" meme, including voting for Sanders, I guess.


Next hypothetical person, also inspired by someone I've known:
Gender - Male

Hometown - Salt Lake City, UT
Current location - Tooele, UT
Religion - LDS Church

[Battista Minola 1616]

Former longtime Republican who grew disaffected with Trump, voted for McMullin in 2016 and intends to vote for Biden this year.

I cannot confirm the person I used as an inspiration will vote Biden (although I am fairly sure he'll do) but otherwise correct.

Alcibiades's is either the last Republican, or the first Democrat, of his WASPy af family.



Next person:
Gender - Male
Age - 60
Race - White
Ethnicity - Italian
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Married (two children)
Hometown - La Spezia, Italy
Current location - Northern Virginia
Education - College degree
Occupation - College professor in Architecture

[Battista Minola 1616]

Moderate Democrat, probably supported Biden in the primaries. In context of Italian politics, supported the Christian Democrats, then Forza Italia and Civic Choice but switched to PD in recent years due to the latter's pro-Europeanism.

Interesting. That's a real person (a friend of my dad) but I have no idea what his actual political views are, lol.

[Battista Minola 1616]

Trumpy Republican. Hates PC/wokeness/you name it, but not especially socially intolerant. Would fit like a glove in any "right-wing populist" European party.



Rehashing characters feels a bit against the rules, but the original response I got to this one was totally lame:

The Republicanest Republican you can find.

"Saint Reagan"

There were future mafia bosses among their childhood friends.

[Battista Minola 1616]
