No, America is exactly the place for satire.

No, it is not. Satirical articles often are plagiarized or quoted by large new outlets as real facts. And people do absurd things. On top of all of it, upper class media control and constant falsehoods make reality blurry. There are many idiots who believe everything someone claims is true while the entertainment industry intentionally removes more and more information from view. America is built on promises broken.

Also, OP, it's pretty obvious that the "deplorables" are the good guys in the film (given that they are the protagonists, duh), so I'm not seeing how it's "toxic". At worst it'll satire the left but not the right. At best, it'll dunk on both.

I concur.

Meh, it’s a “horror” film about humans hunting other humans. I don’t see much to complain about here other than the potential quality of the film itself.

It's a Blum film, which makes it worse; I generally don't like the films he produces.

Also, as to the Wikipedia article, read the talk page right here.

If anyone wants a good, fun, comedy manhunt movie to time them over until this comes out, I'd suggest.

It'd be kinda funny if this film, clearly meant to appeal to the MAGA hat crowd, bombed because the target audience didn't realise that their guys are the protagonists.

Do the people claiming that this is some kind of deep-state conspiracy about murdering Trump Supporters have an attention span shorter than a millennial on crack? If you watch the trailer, it's about rich people hunting poor people for sport. This premise has been done a million times before and the only reason why people believe that this is some deep-state conspiracy is that they're rednecks with baseball caps.

You people are more paranoid than Stalin. Literally, every redneck must be a trump supporter now, and them being murdered is some kind of political message apparently.

They just saw the part about "Liberal Elites hunting Deplorables" and the persecution complex kicked in before they realized the Deplorables are supposed to be the heroes of the movie.

Funny, I thought it was the right who were gung-ho for guns.

And you know, mass shooters have been overwhelmingly from the right.

Propaganda that evil lefties are the ones who kill people.

Watched the trailer, it does not glorify "liberal elites" killing trump supporters at all, its rich privileged people hunting down and killing poor people, these kind of movies have been around for ages, and not just movies, this kind of thing has been in other mediums too. The main protagonist is one of the people being hunted by these elites, so its obvious who the villains are.

The most hardcore extremists like the ones at TheGreatAwakening, 8chan, other Trump hardliners etc. are probably going to think this is a message to them personally and the "deep state" is preparing to launch a secret operation to kill them and the movie is them mocking their efforts.

For that reason alone, the movie must be approved. Their reactions here and elsewhere are going to be hilarious.

And then a handful will see the satire and start crowing about how it's a secret rallying cry for them that supposedly appeases The Libs with the premise of Deplorables Hunting.

Rich people hunting the poor for sport is a well-established Hollywood trope anyway, the only thing that makes this flick noteworthy is the marketing making it a political spectacle and people buying into that narrative.

She has 8 followers. Eight. She hasn't managed even double digits. The YouTube account I made to store a college film and abandoned has more subscribers. This does less to prove the idea that 'this is common' and more to prove the internet will leave no stone unturned to find someone, no matter how insignificant, to go "these people are crazy." How the fuck do you even find the completely irrelevant musings of some chick doing a year abroad who is read by less people than attend a shitty open mic in the back of a bowling alley?
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
