While that was what O'Neil and Adams were going for I'd say Hal was more not liberal in that arc than he was conservative, if that makes any sense.
Why Is Flash Conservative
That sounds good, but I’m pretty sure that main Earth Superman is a casual socialist
This is from a KFC crossover comic.
Can’t be real bruv
Why is Ollie trying to start shit with the Flash. He could stick that arrow up his butt faster than he could blink.
Name a single better promotional crossover in any medium.
You can't.
Johns depicted Central and Keystone as extremely blue collar cities that take a lot of pride in their industry, so it makes sense that Barry would grow up with the typical mindsets you see among the blue collar: importance of the individual/family over community, dislike of regulation, respect for authority and structure, etc.
Note that this doesn't mean he's a religious zealot or a racist or would subscribe to any cg, alt-right garbage. He just wouldn't side with Ollie on issues of welfare and economics.
Not a conservative, just clueless to anything going on outside his life. GL/GA was all about Ollie showing Hal all the injustice going on in the country that he wasn't aware of.
Hal's a person who's spent his whole life on air force bases away from the rest of society. On a base, pretty much everyone is equal outside of designated authority, people dress the same, live in the same conditions, etc. so even though he knew plenty of minorities he'd never be aware of any economic inequalities or racism in the "real world".
get back in the oven
Ollie in GL/GA was like fuck the universe only look at earth. Dude was and is a retard
