I made the same connections.
It was the underdog taking on the Establishment at long odds, and winning.
That is what Trump did. (with a little help from his “deplorables”.
Another important point is that the Rogue One characters were those that were willing to fight, even against terrible odds. The fighter drew the rest of the reluctant rebels into the fight. Just as Trump was willing to fight the media on long odds. The rest of the Republicans (mostly) joined him and after a hard fight, won.
There are many similarities.
The left are trying to claim the meme, as they love to occupy the “victim” or “underdog” slot. Obama did it the whole time he was in power, even when he had control of both houses of Congress as well. It is how they play.
The reason zero had to three-week ‘vacation’ with 5 weeks to go in his term was to try to calm the global leftists who are holding him accountable for the loss. HRC has made it clear she accepts no responsibility.
The Dynasties literally don’t know what to do. This has never happened before to them.
