And Cinder's speech was more like Bane from TDKR (though people have inevitably made comparisons). People have compared Bane's speech to Trump's speech, even to the point of accusing him of lifting lines from the movie (they were really just vanilla phrases everyone trots out in politcs). I mean, really it is pretty common for the villains of a series to make their deeds seem like legitiamte protests against a corrupt system. The real trick is having protests really be legitimate and not just empty bluster to fool naive peons.
