Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, John Oliver among latest Fandom 250 nominees

The latest nominees for FanSided Fandom 250 include the Obama family, the Clinton family and Donald Trump.

FanSided is trying to find the most passionate and loyal fanbase in the world, narrowing the millions of fandoms that exist down to a prestigious 250. Throughout November, the nominees for the Fandom 250 will be announced 10 at a time, with the final list coming out on December 6th.

The latest batch of nominees go heavy on the political side of things, as there might not be a more polarizing fandom to follow. The election may finally be behind us, but the ripple effects of what happened and the issues at hand will continue to create passion and debate — as they always have.

Democrats and Republicans have a rivalry as historic as any sports rivalry we’ve ever seen. Being red or blue is literally to be part of the fabric of America, and the fandoms fracture from there. The Obamas and Clintons are elite families in the country, while Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have created fanbases individually on the campaign trail.

There’s also a pop culture element to politics. Without the left and the right — and all of the passion on either side — there might not be a John Oliver or a Saturday Night Live. This election cycle has shown us more than ever how much we need political satire in our lives and how large the fan bases for those shows and performers are.

Here’s the full list of nominees for November 7th:

• The Obamas
• Donald Trump
• NRA/Gun Enthusiasts
• Democrats
• Republicans
• John Oliver
• The Clintons
• Bernie Sanders
• Fox News
• Saturday Night Live
