You can't just say any White character who was a bad person voted for Trump. The cast of "Seinfeld"? A comedian, a publishing executive, and their friends on the Upper West Side?
This reminds me of when someone sagely pointed out that Frasier would have been a Republican, which...I mean watch any episode...
"Lol I bet Pauline Kael voted for Nixon."
Well, educated professionals in big cities are probably way over-represented in pop culture. https://twitter.com/isawtonysoprano/status/1284630431330193413?s=19
Of course you know, if a group didn't vote 100-0 then you could say a character MIGHT have, but in terms of like, using it as shorthand.
Some of it is just bad Bayesianism. "As a White woman Leslie Knope had a 53% chance of voting for Trump." 10k RTs. Ok but White women who are government employees and have pictures of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi in their office, those odds do decline a bit.
Unmarried White woman with a college degree, I mean, that alone would make it decently unlikely someone voted for Trump.
Ok again Trump got 10% of the vote in Manhattan plus aren't half of them Jewish? Or is this controversial. https://twitter.com/alon_levy/status/1284638042725195786?s=19
That said, Raylan Givens sure did.
Harvey's family on "Sabrina" but probably not Harvey.
Hillary Clinton got 13% in Harlan County, Kentucky so...not likely. https://twitter.com/ioannespastor/status/1284642475626369026?s=19
Villanelle, for the lolz and for The Twelve.
Malory Archer based on her complaining about the "hippie Democrats in Congress" although she'd probably lie about it in her attempts to get on the board of the Met (either one).
