A different Version

We are in  movie mode here, watching some new ones and revisiting old favorites.

I recently drew some sililarities to current events and The Hunger Games.

After revisiting The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I thought current events were like what would have happened to Middle Earth if things had gone awry for Bilbo in the very beginning.

Wormtongue=Kushner
King Theoden=Trump
Eowyn (corrupted)=Ivanka
Gandalf=Bernie
Radagast= Joe Biden
Sauraman=McConnell
Smaug=Mnuchin
Hobbits=the downtrodden little people

Ruined Shire=our wild places

The Elves would probably have left, but you could stretch and add
Galadriel=Pelosi
Elrond=Schumer

Supreme Court Justices=Eagles or Nazgul, as appropriate

Sauron= who knows, he has the one ring and is invisible

Given a little thought, substitutes for other characters might also be found, I will leave that to your imagination!
