Yeah... Normal...

At least the makers of the video embrace their racism.

I do not support or endorse this video I want to make this point very clear, but I think it is more like they embrace their outrage, what I mean is they are sick of the leftist media's hatred of Trump.

That it’s a metaphorical representation of how the Media and other groups keep trying to bring down the Trump administration and yet every time he seems to Win? Sure a “can’t touch this” parody video would have accomplished the same goal but it wouldn’t have been as culturally relevant.

Also with regards to BLM specifically, one can be against Police Brutality and still think BLM is a bunch of asshats. Not supporting BLM doesn’t make one racist, especially after some of the dumb shit their members have said

As I said I do not support or endorse this video I want to make this point very clear, as I don't do this kind of stuff anywhere, but the one's who made this, make it because they are sick of the leftists hatred of Trump.

Well, as long as nobody doxxes and blackmails the meme creator(s) I don't see an issue.

Personally what I find most interesting is that, in the original, this massacre is the result of the villain's mind control technology driving everyone present into a murderous rage. The church goers are briefly established to be rather unpleasant folks, to make the resulting violence more fun, but Colin Firth's character, Harry Hart, doesn't kill them all because they're evil and he's good, or because they're attacking him and he's defending himself. They're all being forced to attack each other, none of them in control of their actions, and Harry Hart survives because he's a highly trained secret agent with a gun and they're just random assholes.

I'm sure that this isn't what the creator had in mind, but through this lens the meme could be read as saying that Trump, Black Lives Matter, corporate media, they're all being forced into conflict with each other. By lisping Samuel L. Jackson.

Black Lives Matter kept trying to take down Trump? As I recall they were more concerned with police brutality against the black community.

Black Lives Matter or not, the Leftists are trying to take down Trump, lets not deny it.

Any sort of protest is an anti-Trump action. Keep up.

Some were more interested in forcibly taking control of gay pride parades, though only a few unrelated groups on non-consecutive occasions.

So that's a no on them trying to take down Trump. I guess the creator was trying to say something slightly different. Or the creator is a moron and thinks that BLM were out to get Trump but he "killed" them.

BLM started around 2013, so it's pretty impressive they were already trying to take out Trump years before he announced running for president.
