"Who would fictional characters vote for?" omnibus thread

[Unapologetic Chinaperson]

SpongeBob: Normally apolitical, considering that his optimism hasn't been tainted by the horrors that modern politics brings, and that he doesn't mind being oppressed by his boss Mr. Krabs. But based on his age (depending on if we're going by when the show was created or the present day, he's either Gen X or Millennial) and the fact that he's pro-environment (he likes Jellyfish Fields and even had a special demolishing a highway), I'd say he voted Hillary. (Unlikely to have voted Stein, since he's not that hardcore or anything.)

Patrick: Even more apolitical than Spongebob, though someone on here said that he would be a perfect "straight-ticket-D living welfare queen." I'm not totally convinced by that, but given that he's friends with SpongeBob and Sandy he'd might've voted Hillary if he got out from under his rock.

Squidward: This gets interesting, since economically he's similar to a WWC Obama-Trump voter (low-wage service employee who has "economic anxiety"), but culturally he is an artist and would be part of the "cultural elite" who vote Dem. But since he's always miserable, I'd say the former trumps the latter and he voted Trump.

Mr. Krabs: Easy one, since he likes money and Mr. Trump has lots of it. Besides liking the usual pro-business GOP policies, Krabs would be enthralled by the monetary success Trump achieved. Plus he has a WWC upbringing that lends him to be culturally attracted to Trump anyways. (I guess he could go Johnson, but I doubt it.)

Sandy: Another easy one. She's a college-educated strong woman who would like the social messages the Dems have. As a scientist, she would hate the Republicans for their anti-science and climate-change-denialist stances. She doesn't like the Greens for their anti-science positions either, even if she likes their environmentalism. Ergo she almost certainly voted Hillary. (And before anyone asks, yes, GOP-hating Dems do exist in Texas.)

Plankton: Evil scheming capitalist with Steve Bannon-esque aspirations to destroy everything good and precious. Voted Trump to see the world burn. (And the whole "I went to college!" thing would make it ironic given demographics.)

Karen: Probably voted Hillary 1. to spite her husband and 2. because tech in general supports the Democrats.

Pearl: Young teenage girl; she would likely have supported Hillary or Stein (not voted for; remember that she's 16), especially if she wants to rebel against her father. (Doubly so if she's 16 in the present day.)

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy: They were once great, and they want to be great again. They remember when America was once great, and they want it to be great again. Likely voted Trump. (Though if Mermaid Man is an ancestral FDR Democrat, he might've gone Hillary.)

Gary: Would support Gary Johnson. I'll let you think about that.

I find it ironic that Squidward, Krabs, and Plankton, who hate each other outside of politics, would put aside their differences to vote for Trump!
