This is incorrect. Donatello would clearly be a communist because he's my favorite and I'm a communist. Plus surely he would believe in things like climate change? Scientific socialism???

I think Raphael is just as likely to be a magat. Seems like the type who would say he used to be a leftist, but all the "gender stuff" forced him to be a Republican. I'm basing all of this on the original cartoon, though. Maybe the newer versions are different.

Michaelangelo probably doesn't even think about politics at all. Leonardo is basically Obama.

You watch your filthy mouth about Raph...

I'm sure the first time a woman rejected him he joined the red pill subreddit

DONATELLO IS NOT A LIBERTARIAN HOW FUCKING DARE YOU

Lies and slander! Turtles are wokists, at least in 2003.

In the 2003 version of TMNT, the Turtles' only human friends besides April and Casey are

spoilerthe homeless people who live in the dump and are "led" by an old black man only referred to as "the doctor." Casey is ambiguously brown and his mother wears (somewhat stereotypical) nativecoded clothes. April is the most oppressed minority (Irish)

spoilerThere's an entire ep focused on the turtles catching and beating "the trash man" who kidnaps homeless folks and forces them into slavery in his trash mine. (The cops refuse to help!) Besides April and Casey, the homeless people and black superman are the only humans invited to their christmas party in s2.

There's also another episode

spoilerwhere raph gives a fuckton of money he stole from the big crime gang to an old, blind woman who's about to be evicted by the bank after her husband died.

In another episode, the gang

spoilerprevents local far right militia H.A.T.E (Humans Against The Extraterrestials) from detonating a nuke

Less related to the turtles politics, but there's also an ep of 2003 turtles where

spoilerthe gang find out theres an eldritch abomination underneath wallstreet that makes it the centre of all evil and takes over people's minds

ok shit I guess I gotta watch it now

It's absolutely amazing, especially for the first 3 seasons. It starts tapering off in quality from s4 bc of exec meddling though. Still GOOD, but doesn't quite reach the heights of the earlier seasons (s5 is the worst of 'em)

There are alt-right pipelines for each of them.

Leo would become a police-lover with a podcast, Don would become antivaxx, Ralf would get into the Alpha/Manosphere content, and Mikey would go full Woo.

EDIT: Splinter would go full Fox News Boomer, April would become an Influencer (and would frequent Leo's podcast), and Casey Jones would join a militia (probably the Boogaloo)

Switch Raph and Mikey and I would say Donny gets into crypto and shitcoin

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Raph is definitely wearing 90s wraparound sunglasses in his profile pic, driving a pickup truck in the burbs, and telling himself he's one of "the good turtles."

Yo, I was always team Raf. For the record.
