===Jake and Helen Morgendorffer===
Both of them were hardcore hippies during the 60s, against the "rat race" and one time protesting outside the Pentagon. They show no real trace of their hippie past in the present day, and in "[[The New Kid]]" used "hippies" as a slur. In another episodes like "That Was Then, This Is Dumb", they had some secret shame for turning their back on their old ideals and Jake has expressed loathing over becoming a white-collar worker ("[[The Teachings of Don Jake]]").
In 1988, one or both of them voted for Democratic presidential candidate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dukakis Michael Dukakis] and they still have one of his bumper stickers. ("[[The Daria Database]]")
Their current politics aren't really known, though Helen's job means she's had to defend some very dodgy clients indeed ("[[The Daria Diaries]]") and she puts up with it. She's expressed annoyance over what women have to go through in the workplace. Jake has some ''socially'' conservative views when it comes to his daughters, going into furies when he gets it into his head that boys are behaving badly, but seems unbothered by homosexuality or the concept that his daughters might be gay ("[[Lane Miserables]]").
