Not sure why Trump backers should be offended by this, since it seems they're the good guys in the film. If anything, it should shut up all the whining about 'Hollywood being run by evil liberals'. That said, the movie sounds fairly stupid.

It may be satire, but that wouldn't make it good.

It’s not about killing Trump supporters, Trump supporters need to stop being so paranoid. If anything this is ANOTHER attempt to make liberals look like violent lunatics and rile up conservatives so they vote next year.

This movie is being written and produced by pretty ardent liberals. Why would they make a movie like that?

From what I've seen, the Trump supporters turn the tables and take out the "Liberals." You might want to read up on it.

Where does it say either are liberals or Trump supporters? From what I have seen nothing indicated that.

So falsely accuse individuals by name as hunting people for sport, and you get sued for slander, but falsely accuse "liberal elites" of hunting people for sport and it's covered under freedom of speech?

How is that not a double standard?

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

I mean the people who are making this movie are publicly known, and as are their political views...

Do you really think Jason Blum is a conservative?

Are you just too lazy to look this stuff up before you talk?

Jason Blum, one of the producers and most famous behind the scenes person involved has several public statements regarding his political views. He is quite obviously a liberal.

I don't consider the political views of the actors relevant because they are playing characters, but for its worth, they are quite obviously liberal too.

As cathartic as it would be to watch neo-nazis and kkk members (and I'm referring exclusively to Trump's extremist branch before anyone panics) being used for target practice, not only is the timing very off but the right will inevitably weaponize it.

At this point it's a miracle they don't complain about WWII films.

I know it's against the rules to insult people, so I won't, but is very frustrating when people can't perform simple tasks.

It’s a privately owned business, Sniffage, and those have their rules. I just don’t buy their overpriced pop corn combos and I know not to smuggle snacks in because they clearly state your bags can and will be searched. It really bothers me none.

Well duh. You don't smuggle the snacks in your bag. That's noob stuff. :p

But it's not neo-Nazis and KKK members being used as target practice. It's just poor Southerners.

I know the feeling, I shouldn’t need to ask you multiple times to answer a simple question. Yet here we are. Again, where does it imply the characters are liberal and conservative? Not the producer, the characters. Never mind, based on your behavior in another thread I won’t waste my time.

The movie is about nominal liberals hunting nominal conservatives.

What fucking universe do you hail from where that counts as an accusation? It's really, really weird dude.

Dude, I don't care. Look at the thread title. Does it say Fox News? No. No, it does not. That is because this thread is about a movie that is supposed to be a horror-satire. Why you would even jump to the conclusion that it's going to be propaganda and not, you know, just a movie is completely beyond me.

Did you even read my post or just attacked? Answer the damn question. If you can’t, just say so. I didn’t ask about the producer.
