Fun fact: In the 1980s comics, Superman was generally portrayed as being buds with Reagan whereas Batman was generally shown to despise the Reagan administration.
At one point, the Reagan administration told Batman not to capture the Joker because it would upset Iran (don't ask) and sent Superman to convince him. Bruce was like "you fuckers are pulling another Iran-Contra, aren't you?"
I could maaaybe see the justification for having Wonder Woman voting Republican pre '08, in like a Christopher Hitchens supporting the Iraq War kind of way. The myth of the 'compassionate conservative' pretty much died with McCain.
Given that Metropolis in the show is located in Kansas as well, rather than New York like it is in the comics (according to google), Kansas probably isn't even a red state in the continuity of the show. Once you plant a giant blue city in the middle of it, it no longer makes sense for it to be.
It does beg the question of how the Kent’s got Clark a SS number and a BS. Like in my head he either arrives on earth in 1938 ( first comic) or 1978 ( first movie) making him either 87 or 47, but he seems to be a perpetual 30-40 year old at lest physically.

But, y’know, that was in the 70s. When comics weren’t “political”.

There was that weird space-rocket/woman thing to make him native born. Because some writers don't get Superman.
But it's harder now. (Unless you go Smallville and have a Lionel type figure).
