Cruz wants CPAC attendees to think they're the heroes of "Star Wars" and "Braveheart"

RWNJs are "the rebel alliance" against the empire:

And let's not forget Mel Gibson as William Wallace screaming in "Braveheart":

1. Star Wars, for sure. This part:

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

2. The Star Wars Xmas special reference FTW.

3. Last year they were bragging about being the Death Star

Now they're the rebel alliance.

My only takeaway from this is that apparently it took conservatives around 45 years to discover Star Wars, and they're still somewhat unclear on what it's about.

6. That button on his suit is dying for some FREEDOM

7. True. I'd guess he's put on a lot of weight since he bought that. But after seeing

how he looked in the photos/video when he returned from Cancun, I'm sure he decided the jacket should stay buttoned if possible.

8. Yes, well, Cruz also read Green Eggs and Ham in support of not passing the ACA.

Right wingers not so good with the comprehension skills.

9. Conservatives would have deported Yoda and Maz, enslaved Lando, Windu, & Finn - they would have

shot then mounted the head of Chewbacca on the wall (along with all other Wookiees) and butchered the Ewoks for meat (Ewoks are adorable, so bite me).

They would have told Leia and Rey to stay home, be quiet, and have lots of babies.

They would have thought Anakan a misunderstood white guy who got a raw deal from his ex-wife, Padme - who never would have been allowed to be a Senator.

They would have claimed that C-3PO, R2-D2, and BB-8 were trying to upend the natural order of things.

All the while praising Tusken Raiders, Jabba the Hutt, and Boba Fett as revered capitalists.

10. Braveheart? Didn't that end with his heart cut out of his chest?

You be you, Ted.
