TV characters you would hate to admit it but they vote Republican or would

Dude is from the 40s...
Superman would not tolerate any of Trump's shit. He'd actively speak out. Same Bush Era, he'd be 100% against islamaphobia and the war(s).
Daffy would vote Trump and get on Era and say Bugs definitely did.
I'm watching The Looney Tunes Show right now, and this is 100% accurate.
I have not watched bones. But I definitely know Angel would not be a republican.
"We are weak. The powerful control everything... except our will to choose. Look, Lindsey's a pathetic halfwit, but he was right about one thing. Heroes don't accept the way the world is. The senior partners may be eternal, but we can make their existence painful." and all that right.
I Know Nick Offerman himself voted for Warren much like myself but I can't help but think Ron Swanson would vote Republican. I know he's a Libertarian but they seem like little more than Republicans in a closet to me.
Well I was posting agent booth from bones, ex military sniper, and fbi agent
I feel like all my favorite characters from Super Sentai and Kamen Rider would vote LDP :(
Banjo & Sento wouldn't let me down though.
Straight commie bois.

Ron Swanson voted Libertarian...at least until maybe the late seasons of Parks and Rec.
Not just him, but damn near everyone in the show and it hurts my soul.

So did a bunch of Republicans who thought ICE would never come for their spouse.
I feel like that depends on which party Kinsey was from, tbh. And helpfully, he could plausibly be from either major party.
Although O'Neill might be a rare single issue pro gun-control voter.
Everybody saying Batman seems to forget he hates guns, is driven to make things better, doesn't kill and doesn't want anybody to die. He's taken in kids who were orphans and he's anti corruption. He even stayed behind during no man's land so Gotham wasn't abandoned. So yeah, the opposite of a republican.
Quark "when I'm nagus in going to make sure women can't wear clothes or make money, and roll back any progressive polices Zek instituted." That Quark?
yeah, but I figure he's more an arch libertarian sort of type, as he also is pro gambling, more or less anti war and hates taxes more then anything.
Much like now, the Senate hated the common person, so it fits.
Cato and Cicero
;)
as much as people love to cast Caesar as a tyrant, he definitely helped the common person a lot more, even if it was cynically driven
and Caracalla, one of the shitty emperors is the guy who extended Roman citizenship to all freemen

Opposite of everything so far:
Malcom In The Middle (Malcom's Ending) (Harvard Janitor HD) - YouTube
Would love to see a new show sometime with older characters, with an older Malcolm working as a downtrodden intern or something for a politician, with all the pitfalls that would entail.

I dunno, big union guys! Nobody loves organized labor like the mob!
Yeah, Quark is a mysoginistic piece of shit, but he wouldn't lock other Ferengis in cages.
Anybody who says Dale clearly never watched or paid attention to the show. Not only does Dale not vote, but the show went out of its way to show that he's not *that* kind of dangerous conspiracy nut (except for the one time he was) and that he'd probably see through it (because he'd see another conspiracy behind it)
And, yes, that's not even getting into how his voice actor (who was also basically the lead writer behind anything Dale) plays the character in a series of vlogs that make it clear where Dale's politics are.
Everyone saying characters from Mad Men should distinguish between the Republicans party of the time and the party now. Don, Betty, Henry Francis, etc were all very much Rockefeller Republicans, a segment of the Republican Party that all but disappeared since Goldwater and later Nixon and Reagan took it over
The federation is a post scarcity socialist utopia. Nobody in that franchise is conservative by modern standards.
I can understand Lorca, and he most certainly would vote Republican. Same with Georgiou. But Bones? McCoy would feel disgusted at how Republicans want anyone who isn't rich straight male white to not get proper healthcare.
Glenn Sturgis from "Superstore"
While he has a "heart of gold" and looks after Mateo (an undocumented immigrant who works in the store), he's very religious and seemingly conservative, and republicans are two-faced so being nice to people who you work with wouldn't absolve him from voting as a republican
Pretty much any main character from She ra. The princess alliance is a group of hereditary absolutist monarchies. Their battle cry is "no princess left behind" said unironically in the presence of people whose genetics and gender make it impossible for them to ever qualify. it is literally a plot point in an episode that a princess' servants don't believe they can help in the current issue because they aren't princesses. And given that etheria is incredibly racially diverse but eh PA is essentially made up exclusively of humanoids....
Pretty much any bird based character form classic ducktales with the possible exception of Gyro. Never mind the Scrooge is very much the old style colonialist billionaire. Look at the racial makeup of Duckburg. The richest people are always ducks. Where do you find dogs? IN servant roles, as criminals. Hell Scrooge's butler is named Duckworth...and he's a dog. His name literally means 'he's one of the good ones' And virtually every time they try to show some backwards tribal society, they make them dogs. The ducktales universe is basically an apartheid state.

I wouldn't take it seriously. I used random.org to determine most of those.
The shock is how accurate a few of them are. I was hoping for some utterly ridiculous ones like Kestra hitting 100% or George Hammond at 0%. :P
Peter has expressed liberal attitudes toward social issues before, so even before the anti-Trump episode he was probably a Democrat voter, if he even cared to vote.
Isn't the Teen Titans GO version of Robin implied to be like a hardcore Republican? I didn't really watch that much of it, but I recall him kind of going HAM during the 4th of July episode.
Also don't kid yourself, MCU Roger is definitely a republican voter. His whole opposition to superhero regulations boils down to "globalism" and hating big government.
This is actually kind of a point of contention among some historians nowadays - we sort of examine historical politicians through a lens of realpolitik, with their motives purely to win votes and cement power, even when they benefit the average citizen. But those histories were written, across the centuries, mostly by people of privilege with a strong bias toward the ruling class.
We generally divide Roman politicians into "populists" and "elitists," but say both were just in it for personal gain. But like, how do we know? In modern times we have ample firsthand accounts of people like, say, Jimmy Carter, or Robert F. Kennedy - politicians who, to anyone but the most cynical, were interested in using their power to benefit the world. It's not just rhetoric, it's ideology. Isn't is possible that ancient leaders could have been moved by empathy and a sense of justice, in the same way modern people are?
I think it's an interesting question, and considering that sort of thing really reframes history. People are people, and always have been.
True, but Homer wasn't even a fan of Bush Jr. To say nothing of the fact that he beat up his father (and later W. too, to be fair).
"And if you get kicked out of that one, you're going straight in the Army, where'll be sent straight to America's latest military quagmire. Where will it be? North Korea? Iran?"
He also was not a fan of Nixon, who Homer felt was disingenuous about his love for Duff beer (though considering Nixon's alcoholism, he may have been sincere and his stuff personality made him seem otherwise).That and Nixon helped to get Homer's nerd pals suspended from college after their pig kidnapping prank.
If anything, he did seemed to like Gerald Ford when they were neighbors, though.
Because voting is a disgusting Hu-mon practice. A proper Nagus should be chosen because they've traded, exploited, bribed, back-stabbed and scammed every last bar of latnium that they could. They're chosen becuase they're the richest not the most popular.
His arch nemesis is an asshole billionaire and he's generally an open-minded and chill dude. Definitely wouldn't put up with the racist, xenophobic, cruel nonsense that permeates the modern GOP. He also fucking despises Cadmus in JLU which is kind of a neocon/Patriot Act analogue.
He's a self admitted "old leftie", like FDR/LBJ style Dem.

I assume the cast of Letterkenny are on the right of Canadian politics, if that counts.
Probably still pretty left of the American GOP, though.

On the Yugioh train, 5D's. Yusei and Crow are easy democrats. They came from the slums, fight the police, and want equal treatment for everyone. Jack is definitely a republican. He's the epitome of bootstraps. Aki is probably a republican by default since she comes from a rich family and is easily swayed by cult stuff, though Yusei could probably convince her. The twins are too young, but they're sweet enough that they have to go dem. Carly is a reporter, so while she does care about her self-preservation, her quest for ratings would probably lead her to go for pubs.
