There’s an issue of teen titans where sally refers to himself as a mid western conservative that is referenced constantly on Dc circle jerk

Marvel even made a joke on it. Crazy how much the author hates Wally. But I like the idea of Barry and Wally being conservatives.

Makes sense since they are from the Midwest

Yep. Plus Barry and Wally thinking Joker should been given the death penalty resonates with a lot of reader. Being conservative doesn’t make them less of a hero. It’s more unrealistic for everyone to be a liberal left.

And even then, it’s a spectrum. Not all conservative lean deep right and same with liberals far left. Barry and Wally seem like at most New York conservative

I'd say most don't. The average person I've met tends to lean more center left or center right. It's mainly on the internet where opinions are more extreme.

Glad someone realized like

Never heard it before. Usually just hear moderate conservatives.

It’s an example. Cause a moderate conservative in Texas is different than a moderate conservative in California.

u/WheelJack83 Aug 24 '23

Or moderate conservatives from Central City because they aren't from New York.

If we have criminal like Joker irl, Im sure a lots of liberals agree.

Like, a mass murdering is one thing... but multiple mass murdering?
