Sunday's #BattleOfWinterfell on 'Game of Thrones' was really a repeat of the 2016 election

If you watched the Battle of Winterfell on “Game of Thrones” on Sunday night, it really proved to just be a repeat of the 2016 election.

At 9:53, before all the polls had closed, it certainly looked like the Night King and his White Walkers had an insurmountable lead:

And we imagine there will eventually be a conspiracy theory that Arya had help:
