Snoopy fan account endorses Donald Trump, faces swift and fierce backlash from the entire community (2024)

Donald Trump was recently endorsed by a Snoopy fan account. The Revolt of the Snoopy Community

The beloved spotted beagle from the Peanuts comics and cartoon, Snoopy, was caught up in a political tornado this past weekend. However, that is what occurs when someone uses the fictitious dog's fame to support a presidential candidate.

Even after creator Charles M. Schulz passed away in 2000 and continued to publish Peanuts strips until the very end, Charlie Brown's Dog has remained a popular figure on specialized social media platforms. A few of these accounts, like the 1.2 million-follower @Snoopy on X (formerly Twitter), are official representatives of the brand.

Other fan-run accounts, such as @SnoopyPhotos, @gir1genius, @DailySnoopys, and @snoopyweekly, are not officially affiliated with the Schulz estate. Everybody shares Snoopy pictures, videos, and memes, sometimes exposing interest in unrelated pop culture. For instance, @DailySnoopy recently shared a picture of Snoopy cuddling up to Woodstock, a bird friend, next to a picture of actor Louis Partridge kissing singer Olivia Rodrigo.

    This kind of content feels more wholesome and sweet than a great deal of the internet. As you climb the Snoopy influencer ladder, you'll gain access to a sizable audience and the temptation to influence them on subjects other than the cutest dog ever.

    That's the snare that @snoopyweekly seems to have fallen into when its admins, who remain anonymous, decided to post an endorsement of Donald Trump for president on Saturday, complete with a picture of Snoopy shaking hands with a Trump figure reminiscent of the Peanuts character.

    A second term for Trump would mean a secure border and a government that prioritizes prosperity for its tax-paying citizens rather than illegal immigrants, according to the tweet, which received at least 19,000 likes before it was removed, as quoted in a report by Rolling Stone.

    In another jab at Vice President Kamala Harris, the admins of the account wrote that the account is run by an actual middle-class family, even though Kamala Harris may have come from a middle-class family. As a diversion from the challenging economic times, they started this profile last year, as quoted in a report by Rolling Stone.

    The @Snoopy account faced backlash for allegedly copyright-infringing an image, with critics calling it a disgrace and expressing anti-Trump sentiments. The account was deactivated after the owners thanked MAGA accounts for their support and continued to encourage voter registration in swing states.

    The Snoopy community, however, continues to share links to fundraisers and fan art, highlighting the need for a more inclusive approach to history.
