**Menocchio** : there is nooOooo f’kkin way gun-totin’. criminal-enslaving, covert Ops runinn’, Batman blackmailing, tough-talking, damn near warhawking Amanda Waller is a liberal. Though she’s not a party-line conservative, either. If anything, she’s probably an extremely military-minded Libertarian. I say that only because in the original SUICIDE SQUAD run, instead of being pressganged into service, criminals were always given the option of joining the Squad in exchange for expunging their criminal records or some other service – that initial free-willed decision smacks of Libertarianism. A run of the mill conservative would force criminals to join the Squad. The only time Waller used force is to reel 'em in line. ---
