MAGA Clings To Darth Vader As It Braces For Election Results

You do not have to want Democrats to sweep the 2026 election to think that Republicans may have done an historically poor job of trying to appeal to the basic hopes and interests of average voters. The latest evidence we have for that is a bizarre surge in online support among various pockets of MAGA world for Star Wars’ Anakin Skywalker, AKA Darth Vader.

“Yes, it seems that while the fan fiction website Archive of Our Own (AO3) will remain shut down for the foreseeable future, MAGA conservatives are picking up the slack, using the last hours before the 2026 midterms to imagine themselves and Trump-aligned candidates as the disciples of a genocidal archvillain from a space opera,” reported Wired this week.

If you spend any time on X, you may have been exposed to its $865 billion net-worth owner Elon Musk sharing genAI slop of Anakin Skywalker if he’d never been defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi and left to burn in the lava on Mustafar. “This is what they stole from us,” Musk posted alongside a picture of Anakin and Padme gothed out in front of imperial legions and twin Siths in training, Luke and Leia. “Okay Hitler,” reads the top response.

While one might expect better shit posts from the richest man in the world, Musk’s MAGA brainrot is noteworthy given the roughly $500 million he spent on this election cycle trying to help get Trump Republicans elected. Can money really buy elections? The ruling elite certainly seems to think so .
