Q Post #3602: Star Wars When Trump won election in 2016 it was almost a year after the new Star Wars sequel trilogy came out, which featured new good guys who were called “The Resistance”. Almost immediately my Twitter feed filled with people using the Rebel/Resistance sign with a safety pin as their avatar, calling themselves the anti-Trump resistance. George Takei and JJ Abrams started Trek against Trump. Everywhere you turned SW was being co-opted into anti-Trump propaganda. Now it makes sense why.
