10 Iconic Main Characters Who Would Totally Be Trump Supporters In 2024

Elle Woods voting for Trump? What, like it’s hard?

As we gear up for the 2024 election, we can't help but wonder which beloved characters from our favorite movies and shows might throw their hats in the ring for Team Trump. The media might have you believe that strong, independent women are obvious champions for Kamala Harris, but come on – give some of your heroines more credit than that. Voting for Kamala because she happens to be the same gender as a character isn’t just boring, it’s sexist.

Whether it’s their love for capitalism, traditional values, or just a knack for drama (because…Trump), here are 10 iconic characters who would likely be wearing the MAGA hat with pride!

1. Cher Horowitz – Clueless

Cher is all about style, wealth, and using her privilege to help others – just with a side of self-interest. Her knack for finding ways to win at everything suggests she’d embrace the entrepreneurial spirit that Trump promotes. Plus, her iconic one-liners and flashy confidence would make her a fierce advocate for conservative values in any debate.

2. Kathleen Kelly – You’ve Got Mail

Kathleen Kelly is a small business owner who values her independence and the community around her. Her entrepreneurial spirit and love for classic literature indicate she would likely support policies that favor small businesses and free-market principles.

3. Elle Woods – Legally Blonde

While Elle Woods is all about girl power and smashing stereotypes, she also values hard work and success – two things that align well with classic red state ideals (We see you Rust Belt. Which, btw, is not a fashion staple.) With her determination to rise to the top of Harvard Law, it’s easy to imagine Elle supporting policies that promote individual achievement and capitalism, all while looking fabulous, of course. Plus, her Ivy League diploma would look cute next to Trump’s. 

4. Lorelai Gilmore – Gilmore Girls

Lorelai is fiercely independent and loves her small-town life (the majority of rural voters like people living in Stars Hollow supported Trump in 2020). Her business savvy in running the Dragonfly Inn shows her support for entrepreneurship, and you can bet she'd be rolling her eyes at any government overreach into her beloved Stars Hollow. Sure, Rori worked for the Obama campaign, but since when do daughters always agree with their mother’s political opinions?

5. Blair Waldorf – Gossip Girl

Blair’s relentless ambition and love for the finer things in life would definitely make her a Trump supporter. She thrives on power plays and the elite lifestyle, so it’s easy to picture her championing conservative values that prioritize wealth and status, all the while plotting her next big move.

6. Mia Thermopolis – The Princess Diaries

Mia’s transformation from a regular teenager to a princess gives her a unique perspective on privilege and responsibility. After all, what’s more conservative than royalty and preserving tradition? With her newfound status, she’d likely embrace the traditional values of the monarchy and promote a return to classic ideals – after a stylish makeover, of course.

7. Jamie Sullivan – A Walk to Remember

Jamie is all about faith, family, and strong moral values – name three things more important to your average Republican, I dare you. Her dedication to her beliefs and her unyielding spirit suggest she’d appreciate Trump’s emphasis on traditional values and personal responsibility. Plus, her transformation story resonates with a message of hard work and perseverance.

8. Jenna Rink – 13 Going on 30

Jenna Rink’s journey from a 13-year-old girl to a successful woman in her thirties embodies the idea of self-made success. Her determination to create the life she wants resonates with conservative ideals of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and personal achievement. Plus, her love for friendship and community would align well with family-oriented values!

9. Allie Hamilton – The Notebook

Allie is passionate, strong-willed, and deeply committed to her love story with Noah. Her dedication to following her heart and standing up for her beliefs would translate into support for personal freedom and traditional romance between a man and a woman. Allie’s focus on family and commitment suggests she’d appreciate policies that promote strong family values.

10. Lena Kaligaris – The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Lena is artistic, introspective, and values her close-knit friendships. Her journey of self-discovery highlights the importance of individual growth and the strength of community. Her friend Tibby said that "If you asked Lena to pick A or B, she'd always choose C," meaning that Lena doesn’t shy away from choosing the option that’s outside of the box. So, in a word, Trump.

While these characters are iconic for their own reasons, imagining them as Trump supporters adds a fun twist to their personalities. Whether it’s through ambition, independence, or just a flair for the dramatic, they embody values that many conservatives hold dear. So, as we head into the election season, remember: Our favorite fictional characters might just have more in common with real-world politics than we think!
