A lot of people who fit that sort of description are positively awful, though I'm not saying that applies to this person, I thought it might be you or a friend. He reminds me of those awful uni Conservative club types who go rowing and debate euthanasia.

I'm going to ignore his interests and his drug use for this and say he's a fairly standard Democrat, his interest in history and politics doesn't make him that ideological as applies to many of these people even if they are wealthy. Though he could be a Made in Chelsea type Republican (excuse the reference, I don't know any equiv US shows).

Again, this is based off a real person:

Gender: Male
Age: 70
Race/Ethnicity: White, Irish
Religion: Goes to a Catholic Church, is not a Catholic
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Relationship Status: Married
Education: Highly skilled manual worker training qualifications
Current Location: Nassau Co., NY
Hometown: Nassau Co., NY
Interests: Transportation, old buildings, American heritage, travel, baseball.
Other: Despite his manual worker job he eventually earned enough to go travelling round the world. His wife is Asian.

Fairly standard Long Island Republican who resents taxes, illegal immigrants, and crime while being strongly patriotic. Indifferent on a few social issues such as abortion and moderate on unions as well as some social insurance programs like Social Security or Medicare due to his blue-collar background. Somewhat prejudiced against blacks, Latinos, and especially Muslims due to 9/11. Was born to a family of working-class Irish-American Democrats but has generally voted Republican for national elections for most of his life with a Perot vote in 1992 being a notable exception. He sometimes votes for Democrats at the state and local levels such as Chuck Schumer or Mario Cuomo. Was a strong Trump supporter from the primaries onwards though he doesn't subscribe to election fraud conspiracy theories. Has met Peter King several times and even contributed money to NORAID during the 1980s.

Reusing this person mostly to see if someone can actually guess which literary character he is based off of.

Fyi, I think you were right for the stereotype, but the person I know who fits this description is a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat.

The last character sounds like someone who sympathized with Republicans while growing up because of the family environment, but has probably stopped doing so. I would say he has a fairly liberal worldview but is not particularly political and voted Democrats out of a dislike of Trump and his brand of politics - if he even voted.

Next:
Gender - Male
Age - 24
Ethnicity - Pakistani
Religion - Sunni Muslim
Relationship status - Single, probably not interested in one
Hometown - Rockford, Illinois
Current location - Rockford, Illinois
Education - Undergraduate degree in meteorology
Occupation - Graduate student (still in meteorology)
Interests and hobbies - Religion, Urdu literature, ornithology
Other - Very unconcerned with pop culture. Is attracted by strong, assertive personalities.

Doesn't seem very political but I think given his age and college education, he doesn't like Trump and has mostly centre-left views (though he dislikes excessively "woke" people). Voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries because he seemed "cool" and Biden in the general.

Kind of a default Republican because of his gun shop employment and hostility to lockdowns (because they're bad for business) and voted for Trump but not particularly political.

Here's a fictional character that might be relatively easy to guess:

Gender: Male
Race/Ethnicity: French
Religion: Catholic (though not particularly devout for reasons explained below)
Age: 50
Marital Status: Single/Never Married
Occupation: Police Detective
Education Level: University Graduate
Hometown/Current Location: Paris, France
Interests: Has a single minded obsession with capturing a particular suspect that escaped justice years ago and is now a moderately successful politician who is also modestly wealthy. Is extremely by the books and legalistic and believes the law to be more sacred then anything including religion. The one exception to his by the books approach to policing is capturing the suspect, he is willing to break any law or cut any corner to achieve that goal.

Supported Obama in 2008 and 2012 (or possibly supported Romney in 2012), for Trump in 2016 and 2020. Working class white voters, and poorly educated white voters, are the most common Obama/Trump demographic.

What about this person?
Gender: Male
Age: Late 50s
Race: White
Education: Master's degree
Income: $95,000 per year
Married: No
Location: El Paso, Texas

Would they vote for Obama or Romney? Trump or Clinton? Trump or Biden?

She would lean towards Democrats through an old school Catholic approach to issues. While she's pro-life she is for same-sex marriage and doesn't have the time for the conservative movement in America. Supported Biden in the primary and election.

Haha. No, it was intended to be Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells; though Colonel Blimp would fit the mould. Staunch Tory obviously, though criticises Boris from the right (and doesn’t like his scruffiness and so on).


Quote from: Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells
SIR – Being present at the unveiling of the plaque on Thursday last week on the Pantiles, I was surprised when the National Anthem was played to see that in a place like Tunbridge Wells, which is noted for its loyalty and calls itself "Royal", there should be people who refused to remove their hats. Are such people Communists? If they are, Tunbridge Wells should be no place for such as they. We can do without them.

Sorry about that

From the looks of it, she's someone who voted Tory until Brexit when she became too disgusted with the party and voted Lib Dem the past two elections
