Describe the likely political views of the previous hypothetical person

[H. Ross Peron]

Yours is Othello, and is a Luciana Lamorgese-esque unideological center-left-adjacent national security institutionalist.

I'm almost surprised you even know who Luciana Lamorgese is, as she's basically never on the news here (especially, ahem, compared to her predecessor). And it's definitely the first time ever I hear someone using her as a term of comparison. Spot-on though.

The bisexual army officer in Wiltshire strikes me as some kind of socially liberal / culturally conservative / economically odd New Labour - Cameron??? - Lib Dems voter. I don't know, it's gut feeling.

Keeping up with the literary nerdfest, and using a *very* special character, in the vein of Mung Beans's:

Gender - Male
Age - 55
Race - White
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Residence and hometown - Padua, Italy
Religion - Roman Catholic
Relationship status - Married, two daughters
Profession - Doctor
Education - Graduate from San Raffaele University (private university in Milan affiliated with the homonym hospital)
Income - 80,000 euros a year
Other - From a wealthy, landowning family. Sets strict rules about the social lives of his daughters.

Othello struck me as a perfect Shakespeare character to "modernize" since he isn't a monarch or aristocrat like so many other protagonists. Lamorgese seems interesting though there isn't much English language info on her.

I've no idea who yours is (was thinking Salo for a moment, but none of those characters are heterosexual) but he's definitely a right-winger in politics. Possibly a Lega Nord supporter, but he strikes me as an aristocrat with fascist sympathies like Evola or Borghese so I would say he's a hardline nationalist and nativist supporter of Fratelli d"italia.

Also literary, though adjusted somewhat

-Likes to ostentatiously show off his wealth but privately ridicules both old money and noveau riche individuals for their smugness and anti-intellectualism
-Sometimes accused of ties to organized crime or insider trading though nothing has been proven
-Has alternately been friends and feuded with Donald Trump

[H. Ross Peron]

This person could be a left-leaning or apolitical New Ager-turned-QAnon adherent when the COVID pandemic hit or somewhere around that time and flipped to Trump in 2020.

Obvious Democrat. Only question is who they supported in the primaries. I suspect Bernie.

Here's an original character.

Gender: Male
Age: 34
Race: White (Scots-Irish)
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Residence: Williston, North Dakota
Hometown: Odessa, Texas
Religion: Southern Baptist (only occasionally attends services)

[H. Ross Peron]

Gender - Female
Age - 41
Race - White
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Widow (had a daughter who died together with her husband)
Religion - Catholic (not very orthodox - better described as folk Catholicism)
Hometown - Verona, Italy
Current location - Verona, Italy
Education - Graduate from professional high school
Occupation - Baby sitter
Other things of note -
She specifically cares after a 13-year-old girl from a rich family whose parents both have to be away from home for extended periods of time. She is almost a second mother for the girl, and the girl is almost a second daughter for her.
Not very knowledgeable or educated on most topics, and frequently commits mistakes while speaking.

Battista Minola went down worse than Othello... let's see this one.

Obviously Juliet's nursemaid. From a working-class background but not as anti-elite as one might think due to her personal connections to them. I could see her as a Five Star Movement supporter.

SKIP

[H. Ross Peron]

Peter Griffin! Technically he was born in Mexico though. Anyway, "New England secular moderate" voter who went Obama-Obama-Trump-Biden.



Yet other two characters in the same vein, because Shakespeare for some reason loved Veneto so much.

Gender - Male / Male
Age - 37 / 56
Race - White / White
Sexual orientation - Homosexual / Heterosexual
Relationship status - Civilly united / Single
Religion - Christian / Jewish
Residence - Venice (Rialto) / Venice (Jewish ghetto)
Education - Both college graduates in Economics
Occupation - Merchant (sells stuff from the Orient in a store on the Rialto Bridge) / Moneylender
Other - The former owns big money to the latter. They hate each other; the former is also clearly an anti-Semite and the latter is clearly homophobic. Neither is particularly religious but both are viscerally attached to their respective identities for cultural reasons.

Obviously these are Antonio and Shylock from the Merchant of Venice (watched a stage version of the play a few years ago that played up the homoerotic context considerably). I actually thought of doing Shylock before, but make him a more prominent financier type that attracted anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists as is the case with George Soros.

Anyways, Antonio is probably a classic petit bourgeois populist-for low taxes and minimal regulation but also against big business, corporate power, and mass immigration. Probably supports the Five Star Movement though he might be sympathetic to Lega nowadays. Shylock is probably a conventional centre-right, pro business type with strongly held Zionist views. I'd imagine he supports Forza Italia.

Based on an old high school crush of mine

Other:-Was a Mormon missionary in Japan for about a year

[H. Ross Peron]

@Nathan thanks haha. I haven't seen her since 2011 (she was a senior when I was a freshman in HS) but I reconnected with her on FB. She is one of the very HS crushes whose politics isn't obvious from their bio (given many of them are bisexual, if not nonbinary). She is a registered Republican but didn't like either Hillary or Trump in 2016 and hasn't posted much on FB recently.

Obviously a very conservative Republican. Supported Ted Cruz in the primaries but backed Trump in the general out of hatred for Hillary Clinton and became a full-fledged enthusiast him after Kavanaugh's appointment. Nowadays an ardent opponent of Covid related lockdowns and advocated of election fraud theories.

Gender: Female
Age: 55
Ethnicity: White (English, has ancestors from the Mayflower)
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Residence: Chester, Vermont
Hometown: Haverhill, Massachusetts
Religion: Congregationalist (Evangelical/theologically conservative wing NOT UCC)
Relationship Status: Married, three children aged 16 to 23
Profession: Cranberry/Dairy Farmer, contributes columns to local newspaper
Education: BA in French and History from Amherst College
Income: 45,000 dollars/year
Interests: Literature, Local History/Geneaology, Theology, Baking, Birdwatching, Geology, Korean dramas (introduced to it by her daughter)
Other: -Generally supportive of lockdown measures but upset at its uneven application (ie BLM protests often being given seeming approval but not church services)
-Met Bernie Sanders a few times in person at campaign rallies and liked him personally, regardless of political beliefs
-Believes in biblical inerrancy and the exclusivity of Christianity (ie that one cannot go to Heaven without being a Christian), though she considers Catholics to be Christians if in theological error
-Very proud of her ancestry and heritage, especially her family's military service in the Revolutionary and American Civil Wars. Occasionally debates with neo Confederate apologists online. Also very interested in Puritan theology as well as that of their Calvinist successors such as Jonathan Edwards.

[H. Ross Peron]

Almost certainly a Five Star Movement supporter, if not, an ardent supporter of Emma Bonino.

Gender: Male
Age: 32
Race/Ethnicity: 1/2 Ashkenazi Jewish, 1/4 Mexican, 1/4 Korean
Current Location/Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Sexual Orientation: Gay
Relationship Status: Married without children

Occupation: Primary care physician
Education: Undergrad at Cornell, grad school at UCSF
Income: $100,000/year
Interests: Gourmet food, travel, jazz music

Obviously a Democrat. Very socially liberal but more moderate on economic issues (opposes Medicare for All for instance. Probably supported Buttigieg this year.

Based on an anime character, somewhat Americanized

Gender: Male
Age: 38
Ethnicity: Asian (Japanese)
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Residence/Hometown: Seattle, WA
Religion: Non-practicing Buddhist
Relationship Status: Separated from wife, has a teenage daughter who he has custody of as well as a younger child (about 6 years of age) from a distant relative who lives with them
Profession: Private detective, police consultant
Education: Bachelor's in Criminal Justice
Income: 60,000 dollars/year
Interests: Judo, Firearms, Gambling, Gastronomy/Drinking, Television, Pop Music
Other: -Recently has become something of a celebrity due to being credited with solving various difficult murder cases
-Prone to being drunk and somewhat flirtatious towards younger women, though he remains faithful to his separated wife

[H. Ross Peron]

Almost certainly a Five Star Movement supporter, if not, an ardent supporter of Emma Bonino.

Lol. She was my high school English teacher and I don't think you got particularly close to the mark. She always struck me as the type who'd consider M5S bumbling idiots and she isn't remotely left-wing at all. I'm pretty sure she votes Lega.


Asenath Waite's character is horrifyingly fascinating. She sounds deep into 16th century Ireland LARPing and she probably doesn't vote at all. I would guess she has a hard dose of nationalism and old-time nostalgia, dislikes muh political correctness / social-justice-warrior-ism, and has inconsistent but quasi-distributist, quasi-feudalist economic views. Probably also strongly against abortion and disturbed by the 2018 Irish referendum. If she does vote it's random minor parties in the United States and, if applicable, random minor parties in Ireland as well, but would vote Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland because Tiocfaidh ár lá.


Next hypothetical person:
Gender - Male
Age - 20
Race (Ethnicity) - Asian (Filipino)
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Has a girlfriend
Religion - Agnostic (raised in a semi-practicing Catholic household)
Current location/Hometown - Madison, WI
Education - High school graduate
Occupation - Studying Physics at UW-Madison
Interests - Classic rock music, crosswords, physics memes, browsing porn websites (hides the latter to everyone else)
Other -
Low-key abusive towards his girlfriend
Has a wide array of weird sexual fetishes and is in self-denial about all of them
Has repeatedly considered giving up college

I think Asenath's character is almost certainly pro-abortion even if not for liberal pro-choice reasons considering most pre-Christian societies such as Classical Rome/Greece, pre-modern China, India etc. tolerated not just abortion but even infanticide in some cases. I had your previous person tagged as a 19th Century liberal btw, but felt she'd be on the secular right nowadays.

I think your character is mostly apolitical but goes on 4chan/gamer type sites often enough that he probably voted Trump this year, after flirting with Andrew Yang in the primaries. Could be a potential recruit for the Proud Boys.

Movie character

Gender: Male
Age: 61
Ethnicity: White (English, German)
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Residence: Torrance, CA
Hometown: Peoria, IL
Religion: Methodist (mostly an occasionally churchgoer for most of his life, became more devout for reasons listed below)
Relationship Status: Married, has an adult daughter in her early 30s.
Profession: Freelance writer, has published three novels and a memoir
Education: BA in Philosophy
Income: 50,000 dollars/year
Interests: Literature, Fitness (especially weight lifting), Video Games, Automobiles, Hiking, Alcohol, Marijuana
Other: -Had an unusual midlife crisis about 20 years ago that involved (among other things) an affair with a high school classmate of his daughter and barely surviving getting shot by a neighbour which he "credits" for revitalizing his love for life
-Was previously a magazine executive but found the job unfulfilling

[H. Ross Peron]

Asenath's character sounds like she might actually be the actual Asenath Waite! goodforher.gif

I actually thought about that! But I sidetracked. It'd be fair game since some days ago I used the original Battista Minola as character.

Your descendant of Ayyub Khan probably is either an obnoxious apologist of her ancestor and of all strongmen in the world who voted for Trump (twice?) or a shallow librul who follows every new #idpol and #woke trend of the day and votes solidly Democratic.

Damn I was jinxed.

Kuumo's definitely voted Biden in 2020 and I may see him as someone who started Republican but switched somewhere in the early 2010's. I am not sure. I don't know what fictional character he is.

Next hypothetical person:
Gender - Male
Age - 27
Race (Ancestry) - White (Dutch)
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Married (one son)
Hometown/Current location - Holland, Michigan
Religion - Calvinist (CRCNA)
Education - High school graduate
Occupation - Has started a craft brewery with his wife and a friend
Interests and hobbies - Reading classics, studying geography, composing poems, tulips, hiking, fountain pens
Other things of note -
He doesn't own a TV nor a mobile phone nor a PC.
He is not particularly attached to his denomination and considers his religious faith a very private matter.
He usually strongly objects to categorizing things like fashion accessories, hairstyles and toys as 'for men' and 'for women'.
He considers himself a pacifist.

Haven't watched the series, but pretty sure its the protagonist of Mr. Sunshine.

I would say he's an antiwar Christian pacifist and thus a Democrat, though he voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 due to disliking both Trump and Clinton. Voted for Biden this year after favouring Sanders in the primaries.

Gender: Male
Age: 46
Ethnicity: White (Irish, Polish)
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Residence: Terre Haute, IN
Hometown: Parma, Ohio

Relationship Status: Single (Celibate)
Profession: Catholic Priest
Education: BA in History at Ohio State, Seminary degree
Income: 35,000 dollars/year
Interests: History, historical reenactment, theology, politics, barbecuing
Other: -Considers himself a "Pope's Catholic"-agrees with everything the Church says and annoyed by those on both right and left who emphasize aspects of Catholic teaching that agree with their ideology while ignoring those that are incongruous. Hates sedevacantists but also people who leave the Church because of its teachings on woman's ordination etc.
-Something of a mild evangelical in that he tries to convert non-Catholics, especially those who don't espouse any form of Christianity whatsoever
-Adheres to Covid guidelines, thus holding masses out of doors whenever possible
-Not particularly interested in sex despite his orientation

[H. Ross Peron]

Probably a Republican until a few years ago - voted for Trump in 2016, but switched to Biden in part because of COVID-19.

Gender: Male

Current Location: San Diego, CA

Occupation: Small business owner of Bar/Restaurant, Bartender
Education: High school, some college but dropped out
Interests: Gambling, Mixology, Food, Cars

Classic Gen X South Park Republican-socially indifferent but against Woke Culture and rather xenophobic on immigration, right-wing economically. Became an enthusiastic Trump supporter due to lockdowns during Covid.

More curious who my character supports at the provincial level

Gender: Female
Age: 25
Ethnicity: White (French, remote First Nations ancestry)
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Residence/Hometown: Quebec City, Quebec
Religion: Roman Catholic (attends Mass weekly)
Relationship Status: Engaged to a 28 year old civil servant
Profession: French/Literature teacher at Catholic High School
Education: BA in Literature, Masters degree from Sorbonne
Income: 30,0000 Canadian dollars/year
Interests: Literature, Theology, Political Theory/Philosophy, Chess, Jazz Music, Antiquarianism
Other: -Moderate Quebecois nationalist, but very traditionalist on cultural issues. Admires Marcel Duplessis, monarchist sympathies with regards to France.
-Enjoys living in urban areas

[H. Ross Peron]

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.

Almost certainly from a Republican family though not terribly political. Has been a Democrat since 2008 when he supported Obama's candidacy. Liked Bernie enough to vote for him in the 2016 primary though in 2020 he switched to Buttigieg. Supports Democrats at the national and even state levels (except for a Rauner vote in 2014), more mixed at the local level. Dislikes Trump though not really part of the #Resistance unlike his girlfriend.

Other: -Has become a minor celebrity in Japan (she is near fluent in Japanese) due to being a "white" gravure idol, appearing on magazine covers etc though she obviously is not known in her home country
-Strongly dislikes pornography and is offended when some unscrupulous agents try to offer her jobs in the adult entertainment industry
-Identifies the most with her Polish heritage
-Father was a NYPD officer, Mother was an elementary school teacher

[H. Ross Peron]

- Young woman
- Japan
- Fairly observant Catholic
- A LOT of Japan

Yeah, got it. Insert "leftcath starter pack" meme here. However somewhat more pragmatic/centrist.

Haha, I wasn't sure what views I had in mind but the biography was a mashup of gravure idol Gemma Louise and a girl I was slightly acquainted with online. The latter seems to have supported Bernie though I never talked politics in depth with her. Her being semi-observant was a detail I added.

A fictionalized/alternate-timeline version of a real person I know.

Gender: Male
Age: 26
Race: White
Hometown: Byhalia, MS
Current Location: Memphis, TN
Religion: technically Evangelical Protestant, but is not very serious about it
Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science
Occupation: "the IT guy" at a local company
Relationship status: Single and not interested
Other: Very into computer-y stuff of all types, is extremely anxious and a bit socially isolated as a result

You didn't answer for Battista's so I'll provide one I guess.

I'm guessing Battista's is some kind of an irreverent left-libertarian who attacks most aspects of society including government, bureaucracy, the corporate sector, the Church etc. but sensitive to criticisms of himself and his single issue party was some kind of proto-Five Star Movement/Pirate Party type organization though less anti immigrant than 5SM.

SKIP

[H. Ross Peron]

Probably a fairly moderate Democrat in the US, supported Hillary in the primary and general and in 2020 may have supported Buttegieg or Biden in the primary. Supports Conservative Party in Canada.

The following is based loosely on several people I've met.

Gender: Male
Age: 53
Marital Status: Married, three children
Race/Ethnicity: White (Scotts-Irish/German)
Hometown: Gaitsville, TX
Current Location: Miami Florida
Education: College dropout
Occupation: Nightclub Manager (Has a number of other business investments, is silent partner in bar that gay brother runs)
Education: Community College degree in Business
Interests: Craft Beer, marijuana, country music, southern rock, everything related to the 60s counter-culture, is a huge fan of Hunter S Thompson in particular.

Notes: Was raised in extremely racist family that he's ashamed of, several family members were Nazi sympathizers and others were active members of Ku Klux Klan. Wife is Jewish, adopted daughter that he's very close to is black and he's estranged from family. Worked briefly on citrus farms in his youth and was fired for leading a union organizing drive, is sympathetic to organized labor to this day and has given money to the UFCW. However he has some prejudices of his own, while being sympathetic to immigrants in general living in Miami has brought out bigoted attitudes towards Cuban-Americans who he claims are disloyal to America and remind him of his bigoted relatives. Also has an even more pronounced Islamaphobia which became more intense after his gay brother (the only relative he's still close to) was nearly killed in the Pulse massacre. When challenged by his kids who say he's a hypocrite and sounds like the bigoted relatives he claims to despise he becomes almost violently angry at the comparison.

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

[H. Ross Peron]

An immigrant woman into meditation and yoga who works in a public school seems like a wildly obvious Democrat by every current cultural cleavage and stereotype, but the Pol Pot backstory might make her atypically hostile to the Berniecrat/DSA wing of the party.

Gender: Female
Age: 48
Race/ethnicity: Japanese
Sexual orientation: Straight
Hometown: Niigata
Current location: Tokyo
Relationship status: Recently married for the first time; husband had been a widower
Education: Little formal education, but pretends otherwise
Occupation: Hostess-proprietress of an upscale restaurant
Hobbies: Art collecting, poetry, historical dress, meddling in the affairs of her regulars
Other: Her restaurant's clientele includes a disproportionate number of frontline Japanese politicians, not necessarily all from the same party as her.

Age and profile suggests that she isn't too radical on politics, but that nonetheless she isn't LDP. I'm gonna guess CDP out of opposition to Constitutional revision on Article 9 and nuclear power post-Fukushima.

Age: 30
Race: White (Scotch-Irish)
Residence: Nashville, Tennessee
Hometown: Bowling Green, Kentucky
Religion: Methodist (semi-observant)
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: In a relationship
Education: BA in Accounting
Occupation: Accountant
Income: 65,000 dollars/year
Interests: Fantasy/Young Adult Literature, Movies, Television, Jogging, Fanfiction Writing
Other:
-Was raised by emotionally distant and somewhat mentally abusive parents, leading her to use books especially Harry Potter as escapism. Is a massive Harry Potter fan to the extent she owns vast amounts of related merchandise and frequently rereads the entire series or rewatches the movies. Has written several booksize fanfiction works using Harry Potter characters. Closely follows JK Rowling and holds her opinions on all subjects in high regard even if they are on things that do not interest her otherwise.
-Mostly a vegetarian nowadays though she frequently "cheats" on this
-Was gifted a handgun by a relative after a mugging though she has barely touched it since receiving it

[H. Ross Peron]

Favors a strong, assertive US foreign policy, is fiscally conservative. Electorally, he is probably no outlier in Alabama - voted Democratic when Democrats were dominant and voted Republican when Republicans were dominant. Voted consistently Republican in presidential elections since Nixon. The last Democrats he voted for statewide were Shelby, maybe Heflin, maybe Siegelman, and MAYBE Jones. Does not like Trump but voted for him anyway. He liked Romney more.

Gender - Male
Age - 44
Race - White
Sexual Orientation - Heterosexual
Religion - Lutheran, but does not really know what that means. Sees himself as Christian.
Relationship Status - Married, three children
Hometown - Belleville, IL
Current Location - Belleville, IL
Education - College
Occupation - Accountant at a middle-sized textile printing company
Interests and hobbies - walking with his dog; movies; a cold one with his pals
Other things of note - has a gay nephew; has thought about running for state house; follows Covid-restrictions

Probably a moderate but fairly partisan Republican. Votes for the GOP in Presidential and state-level elections generally though more flexible in local races. Liked Obama in 2008 but still pulled the lever for McCain, voted for Trump in both the 2016 primaries and general though he was never an enthusiastic Trumpist. Ended up going for Biden this year, however, because of Covid despite voting mostly Republican downballot.

Robert A. Heinlein would be a safe-ish Democratic voter today, amazingly. Might have gone for Johnson in 2016, though.

My last one was Kazu from the novel After the Banquet.

Someone else feel free to create the next one.

Read "Life Line" last night and then was reading about Heinlein's early life when he was a left-libertarian who backed Upton Sinclair's EPIC campaign in 1934. The younger Heinlein would have been a Berniecrat, possibly a Dirtbag Leftist.

Moderately liberal Democrat, would’ve supported Sanders-Biden in the last 2 Dem primaries if they cared to vote in them.

Age: mid 30s
Gender: female
Race/ethncity: Latina/2nd gen Mexican
Sexual orientation: straight
Relationship status: Married with 3 kids
Current location: Sunnyside, WA
Occupation: Nurse practitioner at a farmworkers’ clinic
Household income: 5 digits
Other: goes to the gym at 5:30 with her elderly immigrant parents most days. Fluently bilingual in English and Spanish

I think pretty self-evidently a Democrat, probably a Sanders or Warren voter.

Gender: Woman
Age: 39
Race: White (Italian ancestry)
Education: Degree in nursing from Notre Dame
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Relationship Status: Widowed with 5 kids
Residence/Hometown: Tottenville, Staten Island, NY
Religion: Nonreligious, was a Catholic until fairly recently
Occupation: Nurse
Income: Income of $60,000, was previously making $300,000 in joint income
Other: Her husband died in early 2020. She served as a nurse and survived Covid during the peak of the NYC pandemic. Left Catholicism over the summer of 2020 due to a crisis of faith brought on by the aforementioned events, causing major strain in her relationships. Suffers from undiagnosed PTSD.

Will answer for Sol since both he and Asenath Waite provided one. I would say this woman was a Republican for most of her life though primarily concerned with law and order issues and taxes rather than social issues. Almost considered voting Obama in 2012 after Hurricane Sandy though she ended up going with Romney. Her loss of faith and trauma from Covid ended up pushing her to vote for Biden this time.

Asenath Waite's character is likely a lifelong Democrat, in some way more culturally than ideologically so, although he may have voted for Nixon in 1972 and maybe for Reagan in 1984. Supported Warren in the 2020 primaries out of a discomfort with seeing old money Republicans turned #NeverTrump all backing Joe Biden, but obviously voted for him in the general election.



Continuing with the series of 30-something female nurses:
Gender - Female
Age - 33
Race (Ancestry) - Mestiza (Dominican)
Sexual orientation - Bisexual
Relationship status - Single
Hometown - Cadiz, Spain
Current location - Zaragoza, Spain
Occupation - Nurse at intensive care ward
Religion - Fervent Catholic
Interests/Hobbies - Reading classics, regional development issues, artisanal coffee
Other -
Weirdly, she has had plenty of casual sex with other women, but has only had serious relationships with men - precisely two, and she practiced abstinence in both
Noted pro-Pope Francis hack, which occupies most of her Facebook history together with anti-abortion posts
Has been extremely strained by COVID, but she always maintains a positive outlook on life

Opposing abortion and being a religious Catholic definitely makes her a People's Party supporter. Probably a strong centralist and opposes regionalism much less independence movements given her southern origins.

Gender: Male

Residence/Hometown: Provo, Utah

Interests: Literature, Video Games, Grilling, Politics, Microbrewing, Alternate History, Podcasts
Other: -Was ostracized and even bullied as a child for being one of the few non-Mormons in his school, still resentful of the Mormon Church to a degree for that reason. Thinks they have too much influence in Utah's politics and culture.
-Somewhat active in his local teacher's union
-Annoyed by efforts to remove classics such as Huckleberry Finn or the Odyssey from school English curriculums in favour of more multicultural/"diverse" novels which he considers driven by postmodernism
-Has had crushes on some of his older students, though he has never acted on them

[H. Ross Peron]

Originally a union Democrat, political wilderness between his job in the mines and the one in the newsroom, then moved rightwards and become a J. D. Vance-style Republican (possibly ante litteram) until he decided in 2017 or 2018 that Trump was just a grifter. Now a perpetually dissatisfied right-liberal independent.

Probably a union member and a Democrat due to economic issues. Eager Biden supporter in the primaries and general, though he was sympathetic to Sanders. Probably somewhat conservative on cultural issues and votes accordingly on ballot measures but don't give those issues a high priority.

I know a woman almost exactly like this except in her case she actually is a lesbian. She's unapologetically hard left and I think this woman is too.

Going with a more obscure literary character since evidently Battista Minola has wised on to the Shirley Jackson and Sarah Waters ones:

Gender: Female
Age: 18
Race/ethnicity: Japanese
Hometown and current residence: Suginami Ward, Tokyo
Religion: Irreligious
Sexual orientation: Not sure herself
Education: In high school
Occupation: Full-time student
Interests: Russian literature (especially Dostoyevsky), philosophy, true crime, acting "cool"
Other things to note: Comes from a broken family; physically attractive to the point that she's had problems with being sexually harassed from a very early age.

No idea who she is, but she doesn't strike me as very political. I think she would vote for the CDP. Out of curiosity, I checked Wikipedia and Suginami is described as a centre of "liberal activism" but also the LDP has won Suginami's constituency in every recent election.

Based on a real person

Gender: Male
Age: 42
Race: White (German, Scottish)
Residence/Hometown: Queens, New York
Religion: Presbyterian (non-practicing)
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Married, two children
Education: BA in Business
Occupation: Airline pilot
Income: 80,000 dollars/year
Interests: Film/Television, Mystery Novels, Jogging, Tennis, Guitar playing, Politics
Other: -Comes from a wealthy family and faced disapproval for deciding to become an airline pilot
-Struggles with alcoholism, has had some health scares previously

Mung Beans's character sounds like a mainstream Republican who is not enthralled with Trump. But I am going to say he reluctantly voted for him anyway because this thread is already full of more Biden Republicans than there are in reality. The real person he is based on may well be completely different.

It's funny you should say this because the person he is based on is Fred Trump Jr., Donald Trump's younger brother who died prematurely of alcoholism. Given both his father and Donald ridiculed him for becoming an airline pilot, I don't think Fred Jr. would have voted for his brother and might even have publicly endorsed Biden were he alive today.

Used to be a moderate Republican when younger (despite voting for Bill Clinton in 1996) but disliked Trump enough to vote for Gary Johnson in 2016 in protest. Ended up voting for Biden this year very reluctantly.

Reposting him mostly because I'm curious if anyone can guess who this is based off of.

Just out of curiosity, is this based on a real person? I've been mulling this over in the back of my mind pretty much all day.

(Someone else can feel free to guess on this one, I just wanted to ask)

Not a real person, but rather a literary character.
