Putin Is Emperor Palpatine

Text on the meme

Let me make this perfectly clear. Putin is Emperor Palpatine. The Ukrainian people and all those who stand up for democracy around the world and here in America are Rey Skywalker, Jyn Erso, and the Rebel alliance. Pick your side. WAOW!

What it means

A screenshot of a tweet compares Vladimir Putin to Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars and portrays Ukrainians and supporters of democracy as heroic members of the Rebel Alliance, including Rey Skywalker and Jyn Erso. The exaggerated comparison and the screaming reaction image make the post feel dramatic and absurd, used as a reaction to political rhetoric or a grandiose call to choose sides.
