Editing Politics

[[File:republican.png|thumb|"...and then the third girl was a Republican."]]
The [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work is essentially apolitical, as [[The Brothers Chaps]] have avoided using their work to express any political views of their own. Nonetheless, there have been a few references to '''politics''' in their work, always of a politically neutral nature.

==Appearances==
*[[Homestarloween Party]] {{--}} [[Marzipan]], while telling her part of a ghost story, says that one of the girls in the story was a [[Wikipedia:Republican Party (United States)|Republican]].
*[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] {{--}} [[Pom Pom]] dresses as controversial liberal political filmmaker [[Wikipedia:Michael Moore|Michael Moore]] for [[Halloween]].
*Email [[the show]] {{--}} [[Homestar Runner]] asks [[The Poopsmith]] if he would care to share some of his "polictical<!--sic--> views". He does not, and leaves the show.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] {{--}} One option for Homestar Runner to earn a stirring utensil from [[Bubs]] is to do a Reagan impression, though Homestar insists it is an impression of Keanu Reagan, not president [[Wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]]. He can also be seen doing the impression in an Easter egg. He mentions economics and {{wp|Oliver Cromwell}} (although likely intending {{wp|Oliver North}}).
*Email [[secret identity]] {{--}} The magazine [[Scarfgirl]] includes the topic "Is politics bad?".
*Email [[4 branches]] {{--}} Released shortly after the [[Wikipedia:United States elections, 2006|2006 United States midterm elections]], this email derives its title from the [[Wikipedia:Separation of powers#United States|three branches of the United States government]] and includes Homestar Runner's head as part of the [[Wikipedia:United States Capitol|United States Capitol]].

*[[Strong Badia the Free]] {{--}} Strong Bad remarks to Marzipan that [[Marzistar]]'s policies sound vaguely communistic. Indeed, its official name is the 'Free People's Republic of Marzistar', reminiscent of the official names of various communist states (i.e. {{wp|East Germany|"German Democratic Republic"}}, {{wp|China|"People's Republic of China"}}, {{wp|North Korea|"Democratic People's Republic of Korea"}}, etc.).
