The only difference here is that I don't have to worry about my kid sister being deployed like five years ago.

With all this in mind, all the rookie mistakes the factions make are far more understandable. It's not surprising the New Republic would react to their equivalent of nukes (developed and used by one short-lived authoritarian regime) with "we won't make any so it won't be a problem lmao"

It literally took until Tarkin for someone to point out that force or fear of force is the basis for state power, which is statecraft 101 on Earth, monopoly of force and all that. But in Star Wars that seems to be viewed as an anomaly.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.
ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.
Let’s start there.

It honestly shows how new canon did have some decent ideas that just never showed up in the skywalker saga movies at all. There were some implications for a good post-war Iraq analogy there that could have been very interesting on the big screen.

The only one that comes to mind is "The Great Pacific War" talking about the wild scenario of the US and Japan going to war with eachother in the near future. But that came out in the late 1920s/early 1930s, so not the time period I presume you are looking for.

I'll bet that he'll try and pull what Shūmei Ōkawa tried at Tokyo and convince everyone he was just mentally ill and taken advantage of so that he can't stand trial. Equally likely odds that he tries throwing everything at the wall, including "I was just following orders" and comes across insane.

Well Nuremberg was where the Nazis based themselves and their ideology, so it makes sense to do it in a major symbolically important city to the MAGA movement like West Palm.

Went back and found the Wrangel analog. Name is made up, but I used this picture I found on google of a guy who is real.

I'm a bit more sympathetic than other people on here re: certain voters, but yeah the only people who can say with any honesty that they didn't vote for this are Harris voters. Everyone else, including non-voters, contributed to this.
