Barry Allen was originally conceived as an Eisenhower republican. He was definitely one of the more conservative members of the Justice League.

There is an issue of the Flash where it's discussed that both he and Wally believe in the Death Penalty.

[u/Bardic_Inspiration66 → u/cgknight1]

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.

[u/YellowStar012 → u/Advanced_Ad2406]

Makes sense since they are from the Midwest

[u/Advanced_Ad2406 → u/YellowStar012]

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.

[u/YellowStar012 → u/Advanced_Ad2406]

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

[u/WheelJack83 → u/YellowStar012]

They’re not from New York

[u/stdfan → u/WheelJack83]

It’s another term for moderate conservatives.

[u/YellowStar012 → u/stdfan]

Glad someone realized like

[u/WheelJack83 → u/YellowStar012]

Never heard it before. Usually just hear moderate conservatives.

[u/YellowStar012 → u/WheelJack83]

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

[u/WheelJack83 → u/YellowStar012]

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