It turns out you can’t post Malfoids and Anakin when diesel is $6 a gallon and expect America to vote for you.
Many right-wing personalities went into Tuesday somehow expecting to win despite a disastrous war, a disastrous economy, disastrous polls, and a doddering president whose closing argument seemed to be more about his ballrooms, golf courses, and the Reflecting Pool than anything else.
Since Trump was re-elected, these same people have called everyone else out of touch, convinced by their X algorithm and prediction markets that no blue wave would materialize. The media has similarly spent many thousands of words suggesting that Bluesky is an out-of-touch leftist echo chamber while mostly failing to suggest anything of the sort about the AI-pilled Silicon Valley executives, bots, and racists shitposting on X.
Tuesday’s election wipeout highlights how detached from reality the Malfoid/Anakin-shipping, X-brained billionaires and their acolytes have actually become.
Disney’s greatest mistake was allowing black stormtroopers. I love Finn but the whole point of storm troopers are to be fascist, eugenist, white human supremacists. Disney going equal opportunity on evil undercut the message.
Although making Jar Jar a pick me made perfect sense.
Now increasing the diversity in the rebel alliance made a lot more sense.
Tl;Dr: Lando yes. Finn no.
Edit: you know conservatives are on the wrong side of history when they think the death eaters are the good guys.
Edit 2: Would Phasma actually exist under Maga?.. Kristy Noem and Pam Bondi existed so I guess that’s a yes.
Finn was First Order. They were like Trump’s second term when he won over many African-American and Hispanic voters.
God that’s true and sad.
Edit: I can see Finn being a black Trump voter and Poe being a Gaza bro. But Rey? You’re asking too much of white women here.
Finn is still human. Maybe when there are other species to discriminate against the color of a person’s skin is less important.
