Every once in a while, a viral moment happens on the Internet that brings everyone together—like when the Cats trailer dropped last week, or this new viral thread about which fictional characters voted for Donald Trump. Yup, on Sunday, July 21, Twitter user @MalKatz gave the world this challenge: “Name a fictional character who absolutely voted for Trump. NO villains.”
The responses have been hilarious, and, in some cases, highly debatable. The tweet’s original author offered up a couple of solid suggestions, including Lady Gaga‘s dad in A Star Is Born and Amy Poehler’s “cool mom” from Mean Girls. (Though, obviously Leslie Knope would never.)
It may be tough to admit for liberal fans, but it’s hard to argue with some of these. “When Emily [from Gilmore Girls] votes for Trump, it’s the final straw between her and Lorelei,” Ashley Nicole Black tweeted. I see no lies.
Mr. Big’s name popped up too, but to the person who also nominated Sex and the City‘s Carrie, we’d like to point out that Ms. Bradshaw told us herself she doesn’t vote (during the plot arc about her dating the politician). Charlotte York may have gone for Donald Trump, though. “I feel like Charlotte [from Sex and the City] would have secretly voted for [Trump] too, but would’ve also been genuinely devastated with his ‘behavior,'” one fan posited. How scarily accurate, am I right?
Check out some more responses to this inquiry, below.
“Phoebe [from Friends] voted for Jill Stein. Or not at all, because I could see her ‘not believing in voting,'” tweeted one person. Another wrote, “Most likely, Lucille Bluth [from Arrested Development] would find a place in the administration.”
Now let’s do who’s supporting who in the 2020 primaries. Let’s start with the characters in Gossip Girl. You know Blair Waldorf has some opinions.
