    They were absolutely as blind as the Jedi Council, and just like the Council they waited too long to act. The Garland DoJ could have prevented this, had they prioritized justice over cowering to the rich, the powerful, and the fictional consciences of republican voters.

      Bullshit. The Jedi were fighting a war and still rushed over when they finally had proof. Acting before then would have literally just been their own coup. They had grown detached, for sure, but it also wasn’t their job to do literally everything to hold the Republic together.

      Trump had his Order 66 leaked and the dumbass Dems still stuck their thumbs up their asses. And it IS literally their job to hold the Republic together. There’s even a lot more of them than 10,000 per 10 trillion citizens.

      Why the fuck don’t Star Wars fans understand Star Wars?

        I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I think the Jedi council was very clearly myopic and hidebound, not to mention their precognitive abilities were blunted by the influence of the dark side, much like the sanewashing of Trump in the media.

        Indeed.

          Bro, you just compared a space wizard blocking other space wizard psychic visions with better space magic to “sane washing Trump”

          Just to start with, Palpatine also controlled the media! The direct connection was already there!

            It’s almost like I was right the first time.
