Trump Fans Urge Star Wars Boycott Over Reshoot Claims

The campaign began with a series of tweets from activist Jack Posobiec, who claimed the writers changed the film to add scenes linking Mr. Trump to racism.

Screenwriter Chris Weitz said that this was "completely fake," though he and another writer have tweeted their opposition to the U.S. president-elect.

#DumpStarWars has been retweeted 120,000 times in the past 24 hours.

In a Periscope video, Jack Posobiec, who is an activist with Citizens for Trump, claimed the writers had said the Empire in the film "is a white supremacist organisation like the Trump administration and the diverse rebels are going to defeat them."

"They're trying to make the point of using this movie to push the false narrative... that Trump is a racist." he said.

The Pro-Trump Twitter Army

Donald Trump has 17 million followers on Twitter.

Among them are a group of vocal supporters who frequently champion him and are quick to denigrate those who oppose or criticise him.

#DumpStarWars is only the latest in a series of online campaigns they have launched.

In the last few weeks, there have also been calls to boycott the cereal company Kelloggs, Starbucks, and the musical Hamilton.

A handful of accounts are frequently retweeted in the thousands.

They tend belong to people who work in the media, managing websites or producing other media supporting Trump.

The most high-profile is Briton Paul Joseph Watson, an editor at Infowars, a website that has published outlandish conspiracy theories including one claiming Hillary Clinton has a secret "satanic network."

The tone of their tweets is frequently combative and polemical. They are quick to bait "liberals" or "social justice warriors" but not averse to a bit of martyrdom either, frequently decrying the MSM—mainstream media—as liars that victimise Mr Trump.

One conspiracy theory popular among them, #pizzagate, led a man to fire a rifle in a restaurant linked to it this week.

But spreading Fear and Ignorance has always been Mainstays of the Leftist side of things......

This is quite hilarious.

But what's also hilarious is the insinuation Clinton's supporters don't spread fear and ignorance.

This is why liberals are so amusing. They had a good thing here lol. A good diss to Trump fans. But they had to take it one step further and ruin it with silly comments.

How you guys constantly manage to f*ck up a sure thing is beyond me.

Incorrect. No one else mentioned Clinton here, you're the one that brought her into the conversation to distract away from the topic/Trump supporters. You continue to do it instead of discussing the topic. This is a fact.

I never said you specifically mentioned her. I said your comments opened up the door for comparison.

That is a fact.

I agree with the Avoid the Rogue movie. If only because it is going to be a big pile of Leftist Emo Hipster Poop.

Surtur,

And you continue to shift the focus onto Clinton instead of the topic. That's distracting

Surtur is the New TIMMY!

I thought so, but alrighty so yeah...This is pretty funny.

Lol, wtf? How would Rogue One even address Trump? Are they going to photoshop Trump's face over Darth Vader or something?

Yeah good luck boycotting ****ing Star Wars, the biggest cinematic property on the planet. What morons.

If only the DNC had the same backing as the Star Wars Franchise we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

Or if they had a candidate who wasn't so disliked she couldn't even defeat Donald Trump.

Or my axe!

My bad! I didn't mean to get in the way of the plethora of other insights you had about this topic.

By all means unload them. Don't be shy.
