Is Mario a Republican???

treefroggy

One could argue…

Do I need to mention the infamous “communist Mario” theory??

@Jaffe “ Longest forum thread of all time”

Well, my very Republican grandfather who illegally adopted me, kept the red cap from my home made Mario Halloween costume in the 3rd grade and wore it during yard work. So his fashion certainly appealed to Papaw. And papaw was very Mario-shaped, and worked his whole life. Papaws hands were big and calloused like Mario’s. And I almost failed to mention papaw’s moustache— it was Mario-adjacent.

I remember a time when me and my friends went through every single Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character and tried to determine if they support the police or not. Mario was swiftly and easily identified as a narc; it stands to reason it’s because he likely is a republican.

JCP

Funbil He’s even arrested and then contracted by the cops to clean up graffiti. The plumber thought getting a tribal tattoo in prison would keep people off his narc trail, but we’re not easily fooled. Luigi on the other hand is a “certified comrade” according to Ash Parrish, and I agree.

Worse than a republican, Mario is a monarchist

Mario supports Together for the Future and not just because the party was founded by his brother, Luigi Di Mario.

The new Mario voice (unlike anything we have heard before) sure is!

Video Game King

I mean, he might as well be.

Not to mention who he plays tennis with.

Mario is a cop.

(this is my blog and I apologize in advance. Broken images, spelling and grammar errors, and run on sentences abound. especially in this post)

Ok but he eats mushrooms that would appear to be amanita mascara 🍄
Also this seems pretty left-wing:

Also spaghetti?? Come on

captain

treefroggy perhaps a dumb question…

anything interesting about Mario’s use of the personal pronoun washi?

saddleblasters

Is Mario even registered to vote?

edward

Does this make him a libertarian?

treefroggy

Does Mario have dual citizenship? If so, is it betweenst Japan and Italy?

C’mon, we know very well who is the real Republican of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Mario is always the boring Neutral all stats in the middle character so he almost certainly views himself as a Centrist. I’d vote for Donkey Kong: strong family values, comes from a no-nonsense small tropical island so he must be painfully aware of global warming issues, heavy focus on his people having free access to (healthy!) food, doesn’t hesitate to kidnap opposing political establishment when push comes to shove.

This is what happens when the left abandons the proletariat!

◉◉maru DK is certainly of an oppressed class. going on King Kong analogies one could argue he was kipnapped, exported as spectacle. Not to mention the monarchist King K. Rool’s oppression as well.

If I chose a political alignment in the mario universe, it would probably be the yoshis.
specifically him:

just so everybody knows where I stand politically in the mushroom kingdom

gsk R&D1 characterized him as this kind of asshole for sure. Arguably worse than Wario in this textbook case of ironic hypocrisy.

Imagine this scene drawn as a political cartoon. Who does mario represent? Big Government? Big Business? Does Wario represent the working class?

We live in a society of black & white thinking, but humans are more nuanced. Tribal tats are certainly bipartisan and choice of sport or even income bracket can be totally secular of politics. There are left wing billionaires. Not everyone who wears red is republican. Republicans wear blue sometimes. Mario can jump higher than any republican, guaranteed.

Y’ever seen him let anyone outside of his posse grab a coin or two?

Mario can’t be a Republican, or a Democrat. He’s clearly the leader of a third party.

Mario strikes me as someone that would both sides it in an argument. Not in a ’fine people on both sides but really I’m a nazi’ way but in a Jim Ryan ’respect both views on the issue and here’s a story about a birthday party I held for my cats to take your mind off half of the US losing their rights’ kind of way. Luigi is probably very left but is scared to voice his opinions because Mario both sides him and he’s not sure the best way to argue back against Mario.
