I think it’s simply an anti-government theme...regardless of which political party is representative of the one in the books/movie.
The author’s opinions aside, I still view it as a good story about resistance to tyranny. Frankly, I can see either side of our political aisle acting in the manner portrayed here - because they’re really no different from each other. The objective for both Dem and GOPe politicians is nothing short of power and control over the citizenry.
Sadly true which is why conservatives feel unrepresented and betrayed all too often. Everything seems to boil down to power and control over a subjugated population and not about whatever official reason for a new program that is being proposed.
I saw Catching Fire last night and it was great. So much better than expected. Surprisingly dark and angry and no sugarcoating of what happens when a society accepts tyranny for too long. I really can’t wait for the next one.
