    'The Mandalorian' star Gina Carano fired, reports say | 10tv.com

    “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,” a Lucasfilm spokesperson said in a statement. “Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

    Carano shared a post inferring that being a Republican today is like being Jewish during the Holocaust. The outspoken conservative actor was met with severe backlash after her post. She's also mocked mask-wearing during the coronavirus pandemic and shared misinformation about voter fraud.

    There were reports that Carano was being eyed as a main character in the upcoming "Rangers of the New Republic," another "Star Wars" series for Disney+ but that won't be happening...or any significant work in the future. Welp.

    Oh the cost of following Donald Trump.

    McCarthyism is alive and well in Hollywood.

    Her being fired kinda proves her point. And she is right. Had the German government not been successful in creating hatred in the German people the Holocaust could never have happened. But they were successful in instilling a hatred for a portion of the population.

    At this point in time, the DNC is very much like Nazi Germany pre-concentration camp. The Democrats are not evil, but they are willing to turn a blind eye towards social injustice when it fits the narrative of the Party.

    This may not go to the point of the Holocaust, but the evil is present nonetheless.

    They do seem to want all against their agenda to shut up and to stay quiet
