Three possibilities:

  1. No they don't.

  2. They kinda do see some vague similarities (there is a prison) if they squint but it's different because reasons.

  3. They do but they think it's woke garbage anyway.

  1. There is no such thing as a "right wing" Star Wars fan.
  2. They cried when Palpatine died.

I'm sorry to inform you that there are right-wing Star Wars fans. Just as there are right wing whovians and trekkies and bronies. No it doesn't make sense but there it is.

It makes perfect sense once you realize that their media literacy is through the basement. Regular literacy too, I'd wager. 54% of adults (in America) read below the sixth-grade level. Source.

This is a pretty interesting link. I knew the low literacy rate fact before, but from a different source.

The economic cost of low literacy in the U.S. is estimated at $2.2 trillion annually due to productivity losses.

Filing this under "conservatives are so stupid. so fucking stupid.". they want to save money by gutting education and that's just ass-backwards.
