Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for posting this not humorous meme of Gina Carano actress as Cara Dune fired from Walt Disney

Here's Why Gina Carano Was Fired From The Mandalorian
Gina Carano's Cara Dune won't return for future seasons of the Pedro Pascal -led series The Mandalorian – or for any other Star Wars project, for that matter.
On Wednesday, February 10, 2021, Carano, a former mixed martial artist who has become a recognizable face in the action and sci-fi genres over the years, was fired from The Mandalorian.
As reported by Deadline, a spokesperson for Lucasfilm confirmed on Wednesday evening that Carano wasn't just dropped from the first-ever live-action Star Wars series — she's also no longer going to be considered for or offered employment with Lucasfilm in the future. The decision came after Carano continued to share on social media statements that Lucasfilm deemed, quote, "abhorrent ."
Carano's Cara appeared throughout many episodes of The Mandalorian's first and second seasons, aiding Pascal's Din Djarin on his quest to reunite Grogu - AKA Baby Yoda - with other Jedi. Originally, audiences were impressed by Carano's introduction into the Star Wars universe, with many enjoying the strong presence she brought to the series as a former-Rebel-shock-trooper-turned-bounty-hunter. But the star's penchant for expressing her political opinions online — no matter how divisive or offensive those opinions might be — caused many fans to urge Lucasfilm to fire her. As Deadline details, Carano's most recent controversial post on Instagram suggested that being a Republican in the U.S. in 2021 is similar to being Jewish in Nazi Germany. This sparked renewed outrage online, and "(Hashtag)FireGinaCarano" started trending on Twitter as folks tagged both Disney and Lucasfilm in thousands of tweets in an effort to remove her from The Mandalorian.
At that point, Lucasfilm had already taken note of Carano's damaging social media presence, but her post implying that Republicans are being harmed in the same way Jewish people were harmed in Nazi-era Germany was the breaking point. Wednesday evening, the studio released a statement announcing her firing. It reads,
"Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable."
Alongside her exit from the Star Wars series, Variety reports that Carano was also dropped by her talent agency, UTA , due to the offensive nature of the comments she made online."

FTR: She did not compare being a Republican to being a Jew in Nazi Germany. She compared the tactics being used within cancel culture as the same tactics the Nazis used to turn the German people against each other - and was, ironically, canceled for pointing it out.
