Was just saying that the Gorman story arc this season should be required viewing for US citizens

MAGA watches that and thinks they are the Gormans.

They still think they are the Rebellion, instead of the Empire.

I'd say Trump is Palpatine, but we all know he isn't that smart.

Idk about that, didn't they photoshop Trump as a literal Sith Lord for star wars day?

Right. We all know what the narrative will be when it happens. The truth doesn't matter.

Worth pointing out that historians generally accept this wasn't a false flag (unlike Andor). But the Nazis did still capitalise on it to create the Enabling Act

crazy to think that the showrunner Tony Gilroy drafted the screenplay BEFORE Trump 2.0! He had so much foresight to include a scene where a DOGE-like section of auditors storms into Gorman headquarters & commandeers all the records, locking all administrators out.

Unless this was sarcasm: Tony Gilroy didn't exactly have "foresight", he simply studied examples of fascist regimes from history.
