The republican party doesn't have Hojo or largely unopposed planetary dominance so not quite.

They probably don't think it's a good enough comparison.

Although, speaking of FFVII, I never expected a major plot point from the game to actually become a real life talking point in real life.

Shinra seemed fairly competent at what they were doing though

It feels that way being an American but Shinra actually had their shit together and control (for the most part) over their organization.

In this analogy, Trump is like Sepharoth, a power so heinous that even Shinra can't control him.

But Shinra is the one sucking up all the mako and destroying the planet. That fits Trump better. Sephiroth is actively trying to destroy everything and be reborn as the new God.

When you put it that way, Trump is definitely Sephiroth

Nah. Shinra is the end result of the type of company tha some Republicans might influence creating, but that would be an extreme example.

Shinra is not really all that realistic. They are a company that seems to have a monopoly on pretty much everything. There would be no way to manage that successfully unless the government stepped in and stifled competition and/or helped prop you up to an extreme degree. From what I remember, it sounds like Shinra basically ordered the government around. I mean, shit, they were allowed to have their own military...how did that not bankrupt them? They had to have been collecting taxes.

Also, mako was the clean energy. Mako was progress. Therefore Shinra opposed coal power and wanted to everyone to be using mako.

Mako wasn't a natural resource.
