Some Snoopy fans are upset over a now-deleted social media account, Snoopy Weekly, that endorsed former President Donald Trump in the election. This account had a large following but faced backlash from fans who believe Snoopy would not support a political candidate. Another account, dailysnoopys, with a more left-leaning stance, has gained attention as an alternative. The creator of the “Peanuts” comic, Charles M. Schulz, believed in democracy and supported social justice causes in his work. The official Peanuts website now directs fans to a voting registration page, encouraging them to participate in the democratic process. Fans have mixed reactions to the political engagement of Snoopy fan accounts, with some appreciating the advocacy and others feeling that it goes against the spirit of the beloved character. Despite the controversy, Snoopy remains a popular figure in meme culture, attracting a new generation of fans who continue to share content featuring the iconic beagle.
