Straight ticket D voters through 2014. Voted Trump out of anger at Clinton for being "elitist". May have voted for Sanders '16, if so also thought the primary was stolen by the elitist. Continued supporting Dems downballot but in 2020 voted R because Democrats are the party of lockdowns and defunding the police. Democrats are also the people who actually got to go to college as opposed to people who were working class from southern WV and too poor to go. 

Gender: Male
Age: early 50s
Hometown: Sydney, NS
Current location: Toronto, ON
Race/ethnicity: White
Religion: New age space weirdness, recently decided he is a Far Traveller from outer space.
Relationship status: Single, gay male
Occupation: Artist -> IT Professional -> "freelance cinematographer" on disability
Education: Nova Scotia College of Art and Design
Criminal record: Institutionalized in May 2008 and in April 2018 for psychosis related criminal threats

The only match I could find for "TV show based on an autobiography by a Chinese American" is Fresh Off the Boat (Eddie Huang). I'm not convinced.
As for politics, this guy is a solid liberal Democrat but probably doesn't appreciate the woke Twitter set and/or the 'wealth tax & defund the police' crowd.


Next hypothetical person:
Gender - Female
Age - 48
Race/Ethnicity - White/Romanian
Hometown - Brooklyn but moved to Lebanon, PA at a young age
Current residence - Sayre, PA
Religion - nominally Orthodox, but only attends church a few times a year and not just for logistic reasons
Sexual orientation - Asexual but doesn't identify as such
Relationship status - Single
Education - Bachelor's in Literature at a small community college
Occupation - Unemployed; former teacher but resigned after winning a monstrous jackpot at the Powerball lottery
Interests - Travelling around the USA especially to small towns; reading and writing
Other - A caffeine addict; really hates New York City; identifies as both "conservative" and "liberal"

It's a repost, last time I posted it the respondent ignored that he was Canadian.

Real-life Eddie Huang seems very much like a “defund the police” type to me, although I’m not sure how he feels about a wealth tax. IIRC his father owned and operated a steakhouse in the Orlando area when he was a teenager.

Yeah, I remembering answering that guy before. Don’t remember if I was the first one.

Diese sittsam Jungfrau Die Linke/Die Grünen Wählerin ist!
A.k.a. hard left on every issue that is not about life ethics or sexual morality, where she is a trad. I don't know if "Lutheran left" is a thing in the same way "Catholic left" is a thing, but that.
Man, we badly need such a woman on this forum.

I find the "Japan lover" aspect of it oddly fitting and I am not sure why.

Yeah I would love a poster like her on this forum. To be fair, I don't think she'd be a Green voter though given the culturally left and urban liberal orientation of the party-I would think she'd either be on the SPD Left or Dis Linke.

It's interesting how Catholic intellectuals often are Japanophiles.

Fairly liberal Democrat on most issues, if more centrist on abortion. Voted for Bush in 2004, but then backed Obama and has consistently voted Democratic since including for Joe Biden in the primaries. Annoyed at many Cubans who backed Trump out of "anti-communism" and was even sympathetic to Bernie, differentiating between his social democracy and Castro's authoritarianism though she ended up voting for Warren in the primaries.

I don't think either, and my original reply included only Die Linke, but I thought (as a secondary choice) she might also have the mindset "stewardship of the Earth = GREEN PARTY!"; I should have specified this better.

And yeah. The Atlas Forum Leading Catholic Intellectual is also one.

I'll try doing your Welsh Argentinian if you do this character of mine whose Italian politics were left unanswered (from what I've seen you seem pretty knowledgeable on Italian politics):

Next hypothetical person:

Gender - Male
Age - 48
Race (Ancestry) - White (Irish/Jewish)
Hometown - Saint Paul, MN
Current location - Salerno, Italy
Marital status - Married with two children (his wife is Italian)
Religion - Devout but idiosyncratic Christian, culturally Catholic so to speak, frequently prays alone in church but seldom attends the Mass
Education - Bachelor's degree in Italian literature
Occupation - Runs a B&B, writes for an American journal of literature
Hobbies and interests - Comparative theology, bathing in Amalfi (year-round), Neapolitan food
Favourite authors - Dante Alighieri, Gabriele D'Annunzio, T. S. Eliot
Other - Emigrated in 2000; voted for Perot twice

Independent, voted for Nader in 2000 but Democrat ever since. Leans left on issues other then abortion and though in the past he may have been open to voting for individual Republicans has been turned off to the entire party since they turned hard right on immigration. Despite his past support of Perot living in Italy has made him glad that he wasn't elected president as he now thinks he would have been an American Burlesconi or at best a more competent version of Trump at best.

Gender: Male
Age: 64
Race/Ethnicity: Lebanese
Hometown: Beiruit, Lebanon
Current Location: Boston, Massachusetts (emigrated to US in 1981, obtained citizenship in 1990)
Marital Status: Married, two daughters, one son
Religion: Maronite Christian
Education: Equivalent of High School in Lebanon, some community college courses in Business in US
Occupation: Stock Broker, minority partner in a number of smaller business ventures, most proudly a restaurant that his brother owns.
Hobbies and interests: Science Fiction, Amateur Photography, Emerging technologies. Has long been an early adapter, was on internet in early 90s and now spends much of his free time playing around with Virtual reality. Also an avid Soccer and Baseball fan. Has been a die hard Red Sox fan since he first emigrated to US and is a season ticket holder.
Other: Was a supporter of Kataeb Party in Lebanon and fought in Lebanese Civil War. After he grew disillusioned he decided to emigrate to the US reasoning that he was better off seeking a more stable life then continuing to fight for a cause he no longer believed in.

Occupation and background suggests he is a Republican and holds conservative views on both economic and social issues, though he voted for Kerry and Obama twice out of opposition to US intervention in Iraq which he sees as hurting Middle Eastern Christians. Given the Kataeb Party is anti-Syrian, he supported Trump and was actually supportive of anti-Assad efforts by the US in Syria, however.

Interests: Cooking, Knitting, Classic Japanese and Western Literature, TV Game Shows, Baseball
Other: Was an AV (adult video, i.e. porn) idol in Japan during the 1990s until her retirement in 2004, appearing in hundreds of films.
Comes from a working-class background-her father worked at a shipyard while her mother was a cleaning lady at a department store
Had some past contact with Yakuza members due to her career in the AV industry

Well, based on her history, I'd imagine she's very culturally liberal, so Democrat voter on that basis. Possibly a Rauner voter, though. Key issues would be gay marriage, abortion, etc.

Well I'll do this one anyways, to get things straight, even though General Mung Beans didn't really do mine.

From the location I'd say likely peronist/justicialist, but of the Dissident variety, not the Kirchnerist one. He probably voted Fernández in 2019 anyways? However he is also probably a sort of "outside observer" to his country's politics.

Could be anything from an alt-right type to a mainstream Democrat who breaks from the party only on race. Really hard to say with this level of information.

Very socially progressive and safe Liberal voter but may have made a point of voting NDP at the next election because of Trudeau's blackface scandal.

Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Hometown - Dundalk, MD
Current location - Norfolk, VA
Relationship status - Single

Estranged from his family

Self-described democratic socialist who voted for Sanders in the primary (though he considered voting for Gabbard, but thought she had "reactionary" tendencies). Refused to vote for Biden, and wrote in Eugene V. Debs in the general. Very left-wing overall.

A slightly more "fun" one, inspired by a conversation with a friend:
Gender- Male
Age- 63
Race (Ancestry)- White, of Putiain descent
Sexual Orientation- Heterosexual
Hometown- Boston (Beacon Hill)
Current Location- Boston/Tisbury (inherited the family homes in Beacon Hill and on Martha's Vineyard)
Relationship Status- Divorced, married once, with a son he rarely speaks to
Religion- "Old-line" Unitarian who rejects the Unitarian Universalists as heretical and too accommodating. Also a major funder of a Roman polytheistic reconstructionist group in New Brunswick. Writes angry letters to the Archdiocese to complain about Vatican II.
Education- Phillips Academy (Andover), Harvard, PhD in Philosophy from the University of Vienna
Occupation- "freelance psychoanalyst". Mostly a writer now, and has written two well-received novels in French
Other notes- Played Violin in the Boston Philharmonic for a time and was a music critic for the Boston Globe, started a charity to teach students to joust, goes to auctions frequently and buys nautical items, and wants to host a reenactment of the Battle of Hastings on Nantucket. Was a member of the Watch and Ward Society, and hopes to revive it.

Quite a fun one and probably one of the handful of people who still speaks in a Boston Brahmin dialect. Given his dislike of Vatican II (despite being Unitarian) and sympathetic to reviving the Watch and Ward Society, I would guess he is a traditionalist conservative and sort of the American version of British philosopher Roger Scruton strongly critical of modern tendencies towards postmodernism, permissiveness, relativism, and trashy pop culture. Economically, he dislikes both socialism and capitalism preferring some kind of distributism. Probably voted for Trump out of opposition to the cultural left. Actually, his Freudian background makes him very similar to American social critic and historian Christopher Lasch who also espoused producerist populism late in his life.

Reviving this one:


Gender: Male
Age: 64
Race: White (Polish, Italian)
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Residence: Henderson, Nevada
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Religion: Nominally lapsed Catholic, really nilhistic atheist
Relationship Status: Married, with two adult children (one in college). Previously married twice but no children in those marriages.
Profession: Locksmith
Education: High school diploma, vocational training
Income: $85,000/year
Interests: Weapons esp. guns, true crime, philosophy (especially nilhistic philosophy), cars, coin collecting

Murdered five people (all strangers) in Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, and Germany (where he was stationed for two years) in the late 1970s and early 1980s out of amusement, all of which remain unsolved to this day
