Superheroes and their party affiliations?

[worstblogever]

Now I may be off base here.

But I am starting to suspect that Red Skull is not a Liberal.

The armband covers it, really.

Loki's party affiliation is... well... Loki.

DC comics did put out a four-issue miniseries in 2008, Decisions that had several characters within the DCU declare their party affiliation.

Two Green Lanterns confirmed as Republicans. Lois Lane as well. And surprisingly... Wonder Woman is a Republican.

On the Democrat side, yes, they confirmed Green Arrow's party affiliation... and astonishing as it might seem for a billionaire industrialist... Bruce Wayne/Batman is a registered Democrat.

Lois Lane doesn't surprise me, given her family. Wonder Woman...well, that seems off, although I could see her as a George H W Bush style Republican.

This thread reminds me of something from volume 9 of Adam Warren's Empowered.

Page 148 to Page 151, where Emp escapes from a pair of supervillains by revealing that one of them voted Republican. The other, apparently, was not and didn't know his (?) partner was a conservative. The two then came to blows in a big way.

I'm gonna guess that Emp leans towards the Liberal side of the political spectrum.

Spider-Man's made some comments against Trump and George W Bush, and seems to like Obama.

Aunt May seems rather left-wing. She was confirmed to vote for Gore, and wasn't happy about Florida recounts.

Demographically, Peter would be Democratic. He's a New Yorker raised by a Democrat who works in journalism, whose most significant love interest in a celebrity, and who has spent the majority of the last decade in academia.

What about JJ. He was mayor but I dont remember them saying for what party.

I know he fought for civil liberties and hates racists and bigots. So maybe Dem?

He was elected as an independent candidate. Same with Kingpin.

Steve Rogers is likely a strong Democrat, given he grew up in New York during the New Deal era and regards more right-wing jingoism the same way he does isolationism - poorly.

[seismic-2]

Veronica Lodge is a Democrat

[CaptainEurope]

Phantom Lass votes for the BGZTL independence party.

[Zauriel]

USAgent is a Republican.

Yes, a redneck from a red state. He grew up in rural Georgia countryside.

Honestly, I can see Cap being so overwhelmed by how both parties changed between the time he entered and left the ice (even if we're talking all the way back in 1964) that he's an independent.

Agreed. During the WWII, the Democratic Party was still the party of Ku Klux Klan, racial segregation and Jim Crow. The Democrats didn't start supporting civil rights until 1964.

I agree, in part. The Dems included a lot of Southern neo-confederates, who hated the GOP intensively in an epic case of sore-loserism. They also were friendlier to labor, intellectuals and agriculture than the GOP ever was. They were not solely the party of racism.

At the same time, the GOP of Captain America's youth had been far less internationalist, and much less interventionist than the GOP of either today or 1964.
