I don’t think she is a Nazi, but is clear that her political and artistic beliefs are contradictory and are driven by petty personal issues.

This isn't a story about the causes or strategies of American civil war: It's a personal story about the hows and whys of war journalism — and how the field changes for someone covering a war in their homeland instead of on foreign turf.
What? I hated the concept of this movie and what it is playing into. Then it turns out it is even just using that as a fun backdrop. I think I despise this.

It seems like this movie focuses on how people in America would react once the violence and bloodshed that they've grown numb to seeing in other countries finally hits home. I think that's an especially potent concept now, because it genuinely feels like America is about to crack open this year. Described like this it's an interesting theme to explore. But I would have preferred a different device to explore it.

The easiest way I can explain this is that if some kind of minority depicted an American Civil War in a movie I'm doubtful they'd take the apolitical route of depicting it, let alone not really digging into it. So someone who has the looks and means to be *in a better position than others in such a scenario, flirting with said scenario as a backdrop, especially when it's closer in recent times than it should be... no thank you!

Complaining that they aren’t producing explicit left wing propaganda. Amazing.

They have complained about that even before Trump. Hillary Clinton campaign was more destructive to the U.S. than the one from Donald Trump.

He may not deserve decades in prisión, but is weird hearing about “he just need to be reformed” with a white collar criminal.

How long until they realise that the film has only been reviewed by those who would agree with its political message?
Edit: Read some more and it actually does seem like a good movie with the right message. Mea culpa.

Are "concerns" really still concerns if anyone who tries to discuss those concerns is permanently banned?
Seems like those "concerns" have more become indisputable "facts" decreed by the person with the concerns.
earlier today I saw a truck with a vanity plate that just said "LGB" and I thought to myself holy shit this is one of those LGB-drop-the-T transphobes
then I saw a sticker in his window that said Let's Go Brandon and I realized that I was still correct anyway
