Describe the likely political views of the previous hypothetical person

[Brother Jonathan]

Gender: Male
Age: 30
Race: Latino (Ecuadorian)
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Residence/Hometown: Bronx, New York
Religion: Pentecostal (Family converted in the 1980s from Catholicism)
Relationship Status: Dating a woman
Profession: Graphic designer
Education: BA in Graphic Design
Income: $40,000/year
Interests: Shonen anime, History, Politics, Baseball
Other: -Strong admirer and supporter of Rafael Correa in the context of Ecuadorian politics
-Very anti-Catholic, thinks Catholics are going to Hell and that the Pope is the Antichrist
-Extremely active in his church, attending services weekly as well organizing Bible Study
-Not a dispensationalist, but believes he is "called" to proselytize to Jews in particular and can be often seen distributing tracts to clearly Orthodox people on subways or parks
-Is an Old Earth Creationist (ie believes the Earth and the universe to be billions of years old but that humans were directly created by God)

I'd guess they are a socially conservative Democrat, for the most part, not unlike Rubén Díaz Sr, who I assume they would generally vote for. From his support of Correa, I assume he is something of a left-wing economic nationalist. Given Biden is a Catholic and generally was more pro-trade, I would think they may have voted for Trump in 2020 or for a third-party candidate.

An international one that I have been thinking about for a while

Gender: Male
Age: 84
Race: White
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Hometown (and current location): Ballyjamesduff, Cavan, Ireland
Religion: Presbyterian
Relationship Status and Family: Married, with four children. Older brother was a Barrister in Dublin, now retired.
Occupation: Farmer/Landowner (developed a small part of his land and rents it), part-time auctioneer. Currently semi-retired
Education: Never attended college
Other: Member of the Orange Order and often travels north to participate in July 12th parades. He refuses to move to Northern Ireland, however. One son spent time in prison for involvement with Unionist paramilitary groups.

I'm most interested in which party in the Republic people think he would support most often.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

If he were a Catholic, or even a Protestant who wasn't a literal Orangeman, a semi-retired farmer and auctioneer from Cavan would be an easy Fianna Fail voter, but as it is, who knows? My guess is he probably cycles through various minor crankish right-wing outfits, although he might currently see Fine Gael as a lesser evil because it's less explicitly republican/nationalist than the other major parties.

Gender: Male
Age: 59
Race/ethnicity: Irish-American
Sexual orientation: Straight
Hometown and current location: Morristown, NJ
Religion: Agnostic
Relationship status: Married with a young adult stepchild
Occupation: Runs a catering business
Education: Some college
Hobbies: Amateur astronomy, learning about history, cooking, keeping houseplants, photography, hiking
Other pertinent info: Lifelong Star Trek fan, and it has influenced his worldview.

[Continential]

Democrat as he is a Trekkie and lives in Morristown.

Race: Indian
Personal Income: $40,000
Religion: Catholic Christian
Occupation: Owner of local gas station
Age: 58
Education: Some College before moving to America
Maritial Status: Married to a White wife in 1986, has two kids
Location: Camden, Arkansas
Interests: Guns, movies, repairing, handywork
Hometown: Angamaly, Kearla
Other: Arrived in America in 1984 became a citizen in 1986 because of marriage.

Ughhh I was "ninja'ed" twice... anyway, my answer to Brother Jonathan's character was the same (critical support to Fine Gael, but into weird right-wing parties, most recently Renua) and my answer to Nathan's character was the same (a mainstream Democrat).

Ishan's to me sounds very much a conservative Republican, but probably voted for Bill Clinton twice and was a Democrat until the 2000's.

Next person:
Gender - Male
Age - 54
Race - White
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Married, two children
Religion - Catholic
Hometown - North East, Erie County, PA
Current location - Erie, PA
Education - JD from Penn State
Occupation - Lawyer
Hobbies - Swimming in Lake Erie; Christian news podcasts; sociopolitical essays; a family-owned small plot of land in North East Township
Other things of note -
His presidential voting history is exactly tied between Democrats and Republicans;
Makes politically incorrect jokes and resorts to excessive hyperbole all the time;
Unlikely fan of Michael Moore.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Assuming he started voting when he was eighteen in 1984, Reagan-Dukakis-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush-Obama-Romney-Trump-Biden. Romney's the one I'm least sure about, but I do see him as having developed an anti-incumbent streak over the years.

Mine was my stepfather, and yeah, his voting behavior is Generic D, although his actual views On The Issues are a bit further left.

Someone else feel free to create the next character!

Mine was an Americanized and slightly tweaked version of my father - and in particular, set at one year older to make a 1984 vote possible. The voting behaviour I had in mind was Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Kerry-Obama-Obama-Trump-Trump (give or take either 1992 or 2012 in exchange for 2000) although I suspect I was fairly generous towards Democrats.

Someone else feel free to create the next character as well.

[Brother Jonathan]

My guess is he probably cycles through various minor crankish right-wing outfits, although he might currently see Fine Gael as a lesser evil because it's less explicitly republican/nationalist than the other major parties.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. My general understanding is that most Protestants in Ireland are fairly Fine Gael, and all Protestants elected recently (I know only of Seymour Crawford, off the top of my head, a Presbyterian who represented Cavan—Monaghan) have been Fine Gael. The character was actually loosely based on John James Cole and to a lesser extent his son John Copeland Cole, who were Orangemen (both were Grand Master of the Cavan Lodge) from County Cavan that served in the Oireachtas as independents, the father as a TD and the son as a Senator (nominated by de Valera and Lemass, actually). Former Unionists and Protestants stuck in the south seem quite interesting as a demographic.

I'll try a character that's an amalgam of some friends

Gender: Male
Age: 21
Race: White
Sexual orientation: straight
Relationship status: single
Religion: Marginally a member of the local United Church of Christ (Congregationalist)
Hometown: Lyme, CT
Current Location: Danville, VT
Education: High School Graduate, attending community college part-time
Occupation: Works with the local highway crew
Hobbies: Collecting old magazines, working on his grandfather's farm, reading philosophy, learning Latin
Other: Very interested in state politics, particularly transportation issues

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Young nominal Congregationalist from Vermont sounds pretty Democratic at the federal level to me, although he might have flirted with Trump or with a Bernie write-in in 2016 had he been old enough. On the state level he's probably a "competence" voter and a pretty big Phil Scott fan.

Next one is completely made-up (in that she's from a story, but one I wrote myself):

Gender: Female
Age: 36
Race/ethnicity: Italian-American dad, Jewish mom
Sexual orientation: Asexual, prefers the platonic company of other women, only ever has sex in connection with her work (see occupation, below)
Relationship status: Single
Religion: Semi-serious Catholic
Hometown: Bordentown, NJ
Current location: Silver Spring, MD
Education: BA in Russian literature
Occupation: CIA field agent
Hobbies: Attending live comedy shows, hiking, swimming, furniture shopping, learning languages, trying new restaurants, getting drunk
Other pertinent info: Fervently patriotic but has grown to hate her job over the years.

[Sol]

Hmmm, this is challenging. Barring the job element, I'd guess Democratic, and that's what I'll go with, though I suspect she's open to voting for some Republicans.

Gender: Female
Age: 26
Race/Ethnicity: White, British Isles Ancestry (not significant)
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
Relationship Status: Single
Religion: Was raised Anglican, no longer especially observant
Hometown: Unincorporated Autauga County, Alabama
Residence: Nashville, TN (has been living with her family in Prattville since the beginning of Covid)
Education: BA in English from Dartmouth
Occupation: Translator for a large multinational; Occasional freelance literary translator. Worked remotely even pre-Covid.
Income: $45,000 a year; still gets a fair amount of money from her family.
Hobbies: Horseback riding, Shopping. Is a major oenophile.
Other notes: Has a strong upper class southern accent. A voracious reader. Comes from an extremely affluent family; her family makes about $800,000 a year. Played squash in college.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The story is set in the 1960s and 70s and yeah, in it she's a Scoop Jackson Cold Warrior Democrat who defects for Nixon in 1972.

Your lesbian Southern belle translator is definitely a Democrat in the current alignment but might have been amenable to the GOP as recently as 2008 had she been old enough.

Here's another from a story I wrote.

Gender: Female
Age: 20
Race/ethnicity: Generic "white ethnic"
Sexual orientation: Straight
Relationship status: Single
Religion: Nominally Catholic
Hometown: Honolulu, HI
Residence: Fort Dix, NJ
Education: High school diploma
Occupation: Corporal, US Army
Hobbies: Photography, swing dancing, motorcycling, hunting
Other pertinent info: Lied about her age and residence to get into the Army.

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

Oh. You wrote a story about a half-Italian half-Jewish Catholic woman with a BA in literature who's a CIA field agent. That's so Nathan.

The corporal originally from Hawaii sounds like she's usually a Republican but went for Biden this year after the "losers and suckers" comment. I could be wrong though.

Next person, who is the wife of my last character and so I don't need to tell you who she's inspired to:

Gender - Female
Age - 55
Race - White
Sexual orientation - Heterosexual
Relationship status - Married, with two children
Religion - Catholic but less serious than her husband
Hometown - Lake City, Erie County, PA
Current location - Erie, PA
Education - BA in Francophone Studies from Penn State
Occupation - Works for the Erie Visitor's Center
Hobbies - Reading (especially crime stories); cooking; listening to oldies music
Other things of note -
Illegal immigration and education are the two political issues that interest her the most;
Finds her husband's jokes very unfunny.

It is, in fact, generally thought by my friends and family to be the best thing I've ever written.

The corporal originally from Hawaii sounds like she's usually a Republican but went for Biden this year after the "losers and suckers" comment. I could be wrong though.

This story is set during WWII and the character, a member of the Women's Army Corps, is a pro-FDR hack, but that's exactly how I imagine her in 2020, yeah.

Sounds like a generic Democrat.

Hometown - Grants Pass, Oregon

Military service - Served in Iraq as a USMC medic until he was dishonorably discharged for possession of child pornography
Hobbies - Anime, Star Wars, military history
Other things of note - Father was a Vietnam veteran who commited suicide when he was 15 due to untreated PTSD; is a registered sex offender for the crime he was discharged for

Conviction record for child porn possession suggests he is extremely opposed to censorship but dependence on government benefits probably puts him on the left. I would say some kind of left libertarian-one of the weird types reminiscent of those who would have abolished age of consent laws in the 1960s. Antiwar due to his father's suicide and own experiences, probably supported Andrew Yang in the primaries and then Howie Hawkins in the general.

The story is set in the 1960s and 70s and yeah, in it she's a Scoop Jackson Cold Warrior Democrat who defects for Nixon in 1972.

I would like to read the short story sometime. Is it a conventional spy story or something else entirely despite its use of a CIA agent protagonist?

Based on a real person:

Gender: Male
Age: 39
Race: White (German, Jewish etc. descent)
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Residence/Hometown: Denver metro area, Colorado
Religion: Atheist
Relationship Status: Single
Profession: IT worker
Education: BS in Computer Science
Income: $55,000/year
Interests: Video games (esp first person shooters), heavy metal/punk rock music, movies, workout, bowling, firearms
Other: -Was a minor juvenile delinquent in high school, arrested for trespass and theft but soon gave up this behaviour
-Suffers from various form of mental illness, though he has received therapy.
-Has some Jewish ancestry, though he does not particularly identify with it

[H. Ross Peron]

His dislike of Fejuve as well as the Quechua and somewhat more middle class background such as multilingualism suggest he has centre-right sympathies. Supported Mesa in the Bolivian election.

To be fair I wasn't implying a middle-class background at all, my idea was more that he has a friend/colleague/whatever who's German, like, completely at random, and he likes languages. But your answer is good anyways.


Yours 'feels' like he should be a Republican, but something doesn't convince me. I will say instead an unlikely Democrat who will not stop blaming Republicans for the Iraq War, the trauma it caused him, and wars in general. He voted Bush in 2004 however.
I wonder whether I know any of the two characters he's taken from.

The character is combination of an Americanized protagonist of this Korean film (spoiler alert: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint_Candy) and the main character of an ad tweeted by Rudy Giuliani (https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1171663086178185217). They are disturbingly similar in that both tell the story of a soldier, then cop undergoing traumatic experiences representative of their countries recent histories using the technique of sequential scenes going back in a reverse chronological order but with dramatically different messages.

Is this a still living Dylan Klebold that didn't do Columbine? I'd say he's not particularly ideological but sort of an anti-establishment and libertarianish swing voter.

Other: Suffers from bipolar disorder which is under control with medication, once spent nearly a year in a psychiatric hospital. Wife is the widow of a police officer and suffers from various mental health disorders as well.

Profession as a school teacher suggests that he is a Democrat although some other aspects such as his wife being a widow of a police officer indicate he is moderate in his views. Possibly voted for Bush in 2004, but was an enthusiastic Obama supporter in 2008/12 and then was a moderate Bernie supporter in 2016. He was alienated by leftist infighting in Philadelphia (though sympathetic to Philly DSA) and considered Yang and Bernie in 2020 before ultimately backing Biden.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Low-information, low-propensity, and has achieved a state of utmost ataraxia about the political day-to-day. Never does a Trump tweet, an epic clapback, or a government shutdown near-miss disturb the creamy surface of his psyche. Good for him. He votes mostly for Democrats, though.
