You watched Star Wars and sided with the resistance

Sided with the group against the politician who manufactured threats to rile up their base enough to vote him limitless power in government that he used to make himself forever emperor and turning the democratic Republic into a xenophobic, fascist authoritarian society which draws loose parallels with nazism? So much to the point that when declaring himself the emperor, Padme outright says "So this is how democracy ends..."

You're goddamn right I sided with the resistance in that regard
