Political Affiliations of LOK Characters


 * Korra and Bolin: Independent. There's no way those two would care at all about politics. Korra just seems like she'd hate every politician, and I'd doubt Bolin would pay attention at all.
 * Mako: Democrat. I'm starting to use statistics here. He's young, poor, and wears a scarf. I think most kids who grow up on rough neighborhoods with gangs tend to be fans of Democrats like Obama.
 * Asami and Hiroshi: Republicans. Their wealth and business success means they'd likely support the GOP, not to mention that Hiroshi is based off of Theodore Roosevelt. Asami, being the new CEO of Future Industries, would most definitely have the same political views as her father. CEO's tend to favor lower corporate tax rates and lower taxes in general.
 * Lin: Republican. Most cops are Republican, and Lin strikes me as someone who'd oppose heavy gun control, a lot of welfare, gay marriage, and environmentalists.
 * Tenzin and Pema: Democrats. They'd be so Liberal it's not even funny. While they may be religious, they'd be all about extending welfare programs for the poor, restricting guns, protecting the environment with lots of tax money, etc.
 * Amon, Equalists (minus Hiroshi): Democrats. Although Hiroshi would be a Republican, the vast majority of these Equalists would be Liberal. They remind me a lot of Occupy Wall Street, destroying things and demanding equality. They have legitimate concerns, but they resort to absurd tactics. Amon seems kinda like the union boss who tricks all of his followers into thinking he cares about the little guy.
 * Tarrlok: Republican. Well, if he's opposed to the Equalists, I suppose he's Republican. He also fits that racist, poor-hating stereotype by discriminating against non-benders.
 * Katara: Democrat. Hope and change, people.
 * Iroh II: Republican. Soldiers tend to vote Republican, especially those with high ranks in the military.
