Propaganda at its most blatant?

I just saw this and while there were a few sequences that were beautifully shot, almost everything else about this movie was just plain ugly. Especially it's obviously forced pro-Hillary Clinton message and anti-Donald Trump message. But what baffles me most is how this movie is getting positive reviews from critics. Do they actually think this movie is good in terms of quality? Or because they are all secretly Hillary Clinton supporters?

What do you guys think?

I love this thread, I've got to push "ignore" on so many anti vaxxers and twits who use the word "Killary". I will never have to listen to their nonsense on IMDB ever again! Thanks so much!

The way the new founder fathers were dressed was like dark sects a la Free Masons, only them can twist Christianity to an evil thinking nowadays, this is perhaps the only good (hidden) propaganda stuff in this movie, all the rest is not only the ''nice democrats'' vs ''bad republicans'' but they arouse the hatred between blacks and whites

Heh... There are plenty of good republicans. Trump is not one of them.

Is that a joke?

Hillary is evil as can be and she most certainly does not want to help the "common man" but fill the pockets of her wallstreet buddies.

I see no parallels between this movie and reality in that regard at all.

I could see the bias in the trailer and we know that Democrat leaders think that patriotism is a disease. It looks like a cheap propaganda movie.

I think IMDb is packed to the rafters with dumbass right wing nutjobs who can't see the US is already far right wing, but because it's not far right wing enough for them they see liberal conspiracies everywhere.

There is definitely a politically biased message in this film. Not in this universe is Hillary Clinton anywhere near as selfless as senator Charlie, though. Her privileged ass would have been locked down in a bunker with the rest of the elite. Donald Trump is no where near as smart as any of NFFA, who came off as very dull and one dimensional in this film. Really, it's sad day when cardboard cut outs from a movie would actually be better candidates than what we have.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you $50,000 for a kiss and 50 cents for your soul.

Lol, yeah let's throw the word propaganda around because the movie doesn't fit into our political view. It's a *beep* movie! Enjoy it for what it is and stop reading into things that aren't there.

This movie does not suggest, in any way, that it's pro Hillary because a female character won the election. The end of it does have some real life elements to it though, when a group of people of the opposing party begin to riot in the streets.

This movie was written and filmed before we knew that Hillary and Trump are going to be the nominees, so no, i dont think so.
