   All of the comments presume that Trump himself will pick his VP. More likely, Trump will be convinced to select a VP acceptable to the right wing elites who provide the $$. (Think Mike Johnson.) Once Trump and the VP are elected, Trump will be expendable (by any number of legal methods) and the right wing will have their candidate as POTUS.

   Seems that the cartoonist is commenting on opinions in general, not specifically on Star Wars. As I tell my children, all opinions are “right” to the person who holds them — but those opinions may also be factually inaccurate, socially unethical, physically harmful, or merely inane. Arguing that any opinion is “wrong” to the person who holds it usually only strengthens their position (confirmation bias). Changing the context of the issue at hand may be more effective.

   I agree fully that there would be a revolt if Social Security and Medicare are gutted by the right wing — but the Republicans have such control over their base’s beliefs that they would be able to turn the revolt against the Democrats. They already have done that with inflation, turning the issue against Biden when much of the cause of inflation is increased corporate profit-taking.

   According to this article, there may be a trend to plant more cacao in Costa Rica, one of its early sources. Sounds good to me. https://ticotimes.net/2022/09/13/want-to-grow-your-own-chocolate
