In the new canon Mon Mothma's defining act as the first chancellor of the New Republic is to disarm the Galactic Military in the face of an obviously bellicose imperial remnant (who totally promises they aren't interested in reconquering the galaxy), and then she promptly retires. This leads to individual systems militarizing themselves and then pledging support to the First Order, who easily destroy the New Republic at the first opportunity.
It almost seems like political satire, but no, it is just a hasty post hoc rationalization for returning to the A New Hope status quo.

We could of codified the destruction of the empire, but we considered the matter closed.
Wow... she really is Nancy Pelosi in space...
She disarmed the space military then retired? She'd make a great mirror universe Pelosi
Nah Pelosi is absolutely delighted to fund these trillion dollar plane projects that can't fly in the fucking rain and flip over after landing.
