I know I'm 0/0 right now with the movie recommendations but I saw this pop up last night and had a good laugh at these ever-projecting leftist idiots

--A Trump-looking and sounding President (serving a third term?) presiding over a rapidly disintegrating USA, ordering airstrikes on American civilians on American soil? CHECK

--A media type mentioning that they are "shooting journalists in DC" CHECK

--California and Texas joining together as one faction? LMAO!

--Release in April 2024...precisely 6 months before the election to get everyone all worked up and scared about big bad Trump? CHECK

Could they be any more blatant with this?

Looks like a good flick

Looks like GREAT fiction to me!!!!

As was postulated above, a very, very lefty projection.

I would never give a cent of extra money to see this.

So, I suppose the lefties win in this great work of fiction?

When we start reading too much into entertainment that doesn’t fall into our views we’ve probably already gone too far.

It’s a movie, the folks that will let it affect their political views aren’t capable of common sense rationale anyway. Focus your energy elsewhere.

It’s a movie.

And I’m not sure when the President started to sound like Ron Swanson but okay.

Armed with their bongs and dildos how could they lose?

Is this the netflix show produced by Barack & Michelle where the black guy tells his daughter "Don't trust anyone, especially white people"?

ETA: Nevermind, another thread answered my question. "Leave the world behind" is the name of that flick.

Well the trailer looks good. Not sure what they're selling so I'll withhold judgement until there's more to go on. Anyway, that said what's up with the green hair and nail polish on the 'sniper' in screen shot/cover of the trailer?

You're way wrong on this, as wrong as you can be. You act as if this is just another mindless film that Hollywood has churned out as a matter of course, and I am telling you that the film, its content and its timing are all calculated to discourage Americans from voting for Donald Trump in November. The leftists are pulling out the stops to instill fear in the people of this country, and those who give these vile bastards a pass on what they are doing with this film, are aiding them.

While I too enjoy Ron Swanson, the character is a send-up of white, middle-class, middle-aged, American-males, who work the trades and distain modern trends & beliefs. Make no mistake, despite him trying to portray himself as a woodworking loving libertarian, actor Nick Offerman is a Lefty. It's no coincidence that his portrayal as POTUS in this movie channels his Ron Swanson character.

Take a guess, who in American society today is motivated to do harm to other Americans...

This movie is produced by A24, they've been a leading studio pumping out some interesting, non-mainstream work that's garnered a lot of awards, directors Robert Eggers and Darren Aronofsky are amongst those that work with them. This movie, while interesting on its surface, didn't need to be made. The subject matter and the likely plot, smells like The Purge movies, social fantasies that tickle the thought but, are really best left in print material instead. This country over the last decade-in-half has been wrapped in self-inflected social upheaval, much of the stoking and inflaming coming from the entertainment and news media industries. We'll see what comes of this but, with an election coming up...it's no mystery why this is made and its release date.

The fact that they are waiting until APRIL of next year to release this and not right now during the prime holiday-movie-going month says all I need to know about this movie.

I don’t think most leftist will watch. No code pink, blm, antifa, liberal, sjw snowflakes who hate guns and war will likely watch this. My 2 cents.

Those are not the audience for this. We already know they fear and hate Trump and aren't voting for him. This is for those moderate fence-sitting types, for the soccer moms, for the older folks; to get them scared that this will happen under a second Trump administration so they don't vote for him.

It's clear as can be.

That's right... and there are a fair number of men who fit the bill also.
I have a personal friend who claims to be a Republican, but has been so influenced by this kind of crap that he says he won't support Trump again. I hope he sees the light by next November.

I find the idea of an American Civil war absolutely disgusting. Anyone eagerly awaiting or hoping for such a thing is in for a rude fucking awakening if by some misfortune we get to experience such a thing. It’s not going to be fun at all.

This movie is a hard pass for me.

Well I don’t think this voting for Trump like most of us. You could be right about the audience. I just have never been influenced by movies on who to vote for.

I absolutely refuse to support anything Hollywood produces if I can avoid it. I've even taken to watching British productions for entertainment IF I choose to watch tv, which, these days, isn't very often. Sometimes the Brits portray their men as weak, but EVERY show and commercial on American tv these days shows men as weak, stupid, venal, subservient to women, etc. And the movies, for the most part, are worse. I will admit to watching the second Top Gun on tv, but that was a fluke.

So I’m aiding the left because I won’t get up in arms about a movie, which the producers have EVERY right to make? Because it’ll influence elections? If they are that easily influenced by a work of fiction then what would you have me do? If the past 3.5 years and our current state of economy and affairs fall prey to a singular movie, what would you have me do so as not to be considered part of the problem? Ridiculous assertion.

I was running through the scenarios with a few friends last night.

1) Trump is jailed prior to the election. Do you think that may set something off?

2) Trump is not jailed, but we see more funny business with the election and he loses. Do you think that may set something off?

3) Biden loses. Do you think that may set something off?

I'd say the odds are pretty high that there will be some unrest in the near future regardless of the scenario.
