The trumpers are clueless. We know that. But their take on "Don't Look Up" proves it beyond doubt [View all]

Their response to "Don't Look Up" puts the needle on the clueless dial off the scale.

Here's some remarks from the ONE entry I could find on the Freepsite.
Literate conservatives, like National Review, see what's there and agree the movie is a spot-on satire about the trump cult... and that cult's intellect.
The trumpers think it's a slam on the Left.

"The left destroys their own arguments and beliefs in a film that I am pretty sure was meant as a reinforcement to them. I am sure it was meant as slam on Trump and his followers, but it really was the opposite.
In real life the “don’t look up” crowd are those who pimp Covid fear as a means of control."
"The Hunger Games was another one that backfired on the left. It was meant to target the evil republicans, but they didn’t realize how much it mirrored themselves."
"THIS is from lefties? Do they not realize this is exactly how they behave? Do they think they’re portraying the right? Did they wake up from their nonsense?"
"Seems like they shot themselves in the feet. Did they understand or did we take if wrong. I found it comical that the points they were making made more fun of how they behave."
"It’s no great surprise the left doesn’t see the humor because it unmasks their totalitarian bent. Parts of it had me laughing out loud because it was obviously made by leftists with absolutely no self awareness. If you can’t see Hillary in the amoral movie president, you need to put down the bong."
