Describe the likely political views of the previous hypothetical person

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

Because I'm a troll, I'm going to say Hadash for Jesus, though he might consider voting for Meretz once in a while.

Good trolling, but wrong person.

I don't think Jesus was a farmer or was married.

Correct observation.

The private in Munich is obviously Adolf Hitler, so nowadays would spout (((Pepe the Frog))) memes on German 4chan, spread tabloid stories of Muslim rapefugees on Facebook, and vote AfD or if he's into the rabbit hole enough NPD.

The guesses for my last character are still open. Someone else feel free to go next.

Mary Magdalene would beg to differ.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

Sounds like a pretty firm Republican. Maybe voted for the Zodiac Killer in 2016, but has been hard on the Trump train since the nomination.

Gender: Woman
Age: 41
Ethnicity: White, Dutch Ancestry
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Religion: Raised Dutch Reform, currently nondenominational evangelic protestant. Deeply religious.
Relationship Status: Married
Profession: Math Teacher
Hometown: South Sioux City, NE
Residence: Newland, NC
Education: College Degree
Interests: Writing, Religion, Local History
Other notes: Prolific self-published author of Christian fiction. Has socially conservative views on most issues, but firmly opposes the death penalty. Voted for a candidate of the opposite party she usually supports in her first election because she thought he was cute; regrets that decision and uses that as an example of the importance of civics with her students.

Based on a teacher I had.

I'd imagine she voted for either Gore of Clinton in her first election, and has voted for republicans ever since. Probably was deeply unsettled by Trump's very unchristian lifestyle and wrote in McCain or Romney or Bush or something in 2020. Voted McMullin in 2016


Gender: Male
Age: 29
Ethnicity: White, WASP
Sexual Orientation: Bi, but says he's straight
Religion: Nominally Episcopalian. Really non practicing
Relationship Status: Single
Profession: Lawyer
Hometown: Boston, MA
Residence: Houston, TX
Education: College Degree, JD
Interests: Drugs, Travelling, Coffee
Other notes: Only became a lawyer after his wealthy parents pressured him. Attended Harvard and was Vice-President of his frat. Moved to Texas to get away from Mom and Dad.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

Liberal who became more radical after witnessing some of the carnage in the middle east. Supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020.

Gender: Male
Age: 23
Race/Ethnicity: White/English
Location/Hometown: Lincoln, Alabama
Religion: Raised Baptist, seldom attends Church but still believes in God and considers self spiritual.
Education: High School, would like to attend college eventually
Occupation: Assembly Line worker at Lincoln, Al Honda plant.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Relationship Status: In long distance relationship with woman in New Orleans
Interests/Other notes: classic Glam Rock, emo music, Record collecting, anime, musical theater, motorcycling. Grew up in very stereotypical white southern family, had an emo phase in high school and was frequently accused of being gay. Has come to despise activities that he was forced to participate in growing up that he regards as being overly macho like going to high school football games and hunting. Probably the only stereotypically masculine interest he has is motorcycling. He rides his vintage Honda bike that he got with an employee discount down to New Orleans most weekends and longer when he can get time off for work to see his girlfriend who is queer and mostly into other women. Sometimes wishes he was a woman, says he feels like a "lesbian trapped in a mans body" but is fairly certain he isn't trans.   

He seems like he was deeply conservative in high school trying to compensate for the discrimination he got, now he's a fairly comfortable and out spoken leftist especially on economic issues. Doesn't care about politics a lot but when asked he's very clearly on the left of things. Reminds me of a couple people I know actually.

Another fictional character based one;

Gender: Male
Age: 32

Residence: Odessa, ON
Hometown: New York, NY
Religion: Jewish, Non practicing
Education: College degree

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

Almost certainly a Democrat given his union background and antiracist efforts despite his dislike of Muslims. His dislike of Cubans only increased after they turned towards Trump in the past election.

Gender: Male
Age: 54
Race: Black
Residence/Hometown: Detroit, Michigan
Religion: Non-Denominational Christian/Baptist
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Married, four children
Education: BA in African American Studies, graduate degree from seminary
Occupation: Pastor of a large mostly black megachurch, has about 5,000 congregants, author of numerous books
Income: 120,000 dollars/year
Interests: Theology, Jazz and Blues Music, Football, Basketball, Politics, Finance, Automobiles
Other: -Has continued to hold in person church services at full capacity and does not even require mask requiring, called efforts by public health authorities to make his church comply an example of racist authoritarianism against the black church. Participated in BLM protests and has recently tweeted about the Tuskegee medical experiments in relation to the Covid vaccine rollout
-Despite his wealth, he lives a fairly simple life within the city and prefers to donate much of his income and book loyalties to charity
-Has twice had extramarital affairs with congregants but repented to his wife and congregation in both cases

So this person thinks of Republicans as next to nazis, votes for and supports democrats up and down the ballot. Has never even considered voting for a republican. That being said they are fairly conservative and are almost libertarian in their beliefs about the role of government. Notorious bigot against other religions and LGBT people. Emphatically endorsed Obama in 2008, Clinton in 2016 (after the primaries), and Booker initially in 2020, then Biden after Clyburn endorsed him and Booker dropped out. Garnered minor headlines in the state for his, er, controversial comments about Buttigieg. Wasn't thrilled about Harris has VP cause she's a woman and he's not big on women in power. Privately sees her as "not all black".

_{Based on a fictional character, but it's more of a fanfiction tbh - "where would she have ended up if she lived in our universe and also was twenty years older?". Also relocated her from Wyoming to Canada 'cause Wyoming is boring.}

Seems like someone who would generally be on the left with perhaps some populist tendencies. Maybe NDP, or even could be BQ, but I suspect since she isn't native-born those issues might not resonate as much. Probably votes Liberal at the provincial level (though again, maybe PQ if she is more of a sovereigntist). Probably dislikes CAQ a fair bit.
