    Not realy, not based on what I've seen on YT but I don't stalk them on social media or particularly care about celebrity takes that aren't garbage.

    From what I know they generaly:

    -The Star Wars new trilogy pretty much killed their interest in the franchise. They are pretty self aware about the shittiness of the whole big franchise brain dead fandom(i.e worship corporate media beyond reason) they made a whole parody show about those types of "fans"(Nerd Crew). They also said the Marvel shit killed their interest in another big franchise for some time.

    -Rich and Mike both love classic Trek/hate Kurtzman and they are doing it for the right reasons(i.e turned the socialist utopia into liberal brain worm modern day America for cheap anti-Trump/MAGA messaging) because there is a small section of the fandom that are right wing MAGA Trek chuds that use Kurtzman mediocrity as an excuse to hate on Hollywood "woke" and progressive politics e.g Midgnight edge and co. They also understand and criticize the shitty aspects of Trek too like Gene was a mostly shit person etc, TNG S1 and S2 had many problems, the TNG movies were brought down by Patrick's superstar dreams/ego etc etc...

    -They mostly don't care about Reddit or their fans and find them creepy and uncreative. I can attest that sometimes the whole r/rlm often goes on long threads about the same damn jokes over and over, fun at first tiresome and embarrassing after a while.

    So if they were conservative/right wing I can definitely see where they would have done things differently already e.g they would have loved to grow their personality cult but they did the opposite.

    As others said they are apolitical left leaning liberals at best. But maybe I'm wrong as I said I don't follow their social media...
