When I was watching the Walt Disney Company’s 2017 “Beauty And The Beast” live-action remake on Disney Plus some months ago, when I came across the scene where the demagogue Gaston (Luke Evans), despite efforts by Princess Belle (Emma Watson) to de-escalate the situation, incites what is basically a lynch mob to storm the Beast’s castle, I saw similarities to Donald Trump’s 1/6 rally on the Ellipse just before his supporters stormed the Capitol. Here is Gaston inciting the mob to storm the Beast’s castle.
Here is Trump and his toadies inciting that mob to storm the Capitol.
