In the wake of a trio of deadly massacres, the studio is evaluating its strategy for the R-rated Blumhouse satire in which elites stalk "deplorables."

“...the ad did not make clear that “Deplorable” Trump supporters were being hunted.”

Deplorable is synonymous with Trump voters. If the ad used the word “deplorable” it was referencing Trump voters.

Wait for the mass shooting, bombing or poison gas attacks in your nearest Universal theme park.

Movies are made to promote an agenda, not to entertain. Their story line, the drama, is designed to activate your willing suspension of disbelief, and to lower your resistance to propaganda.

The propaganda is usually overt. Subtle doesn’t work, with today’s audiences. The message needs to hit them over the heads with a hammer.

The producers openly admit their reasons for making the film. Catch them being interviewed, and you’ll hear them say what their objective is.

If the word “deplorable” was in the ad, I did not hear it.

I think it's safe to say the gloves are off in the social/political arena. The liberals aren't even going to masquerade their intent.

For 50 years conservatives have been shrinking in the face of home grown socialists. Now that we've pushed back, they're getting violent.

Spoiled brats, they are. And like doting parents, we waited till they're full grown to try to change things. It can't be done.

I hope people show up and disrupt it every time they try to show it. These would-be Pol Pots think we’ll go quietly into that dark night.

I saw the trailer. The hunted “deplorables” are the good guys and its looks like they manage to exact revenge.

I’m planning on seeing it if it still get released.

Movies, news programs, even advertisements, a relentless bombardment against the American way of life.

That’s exactly why they orchestrate this stuff. Eventually folks should be able to figure it out or at least question it enough to make the guilty squirm exposing their tells.

There are several ads.

The one I saw had no political angle at all.

It looked like a straight forward re-boot of The Most Dangerous Game, which I originally read 60 years ago.

It’s incitement.

18 U.S. Code 373. Solicitation to commit a crime of violence

(a) Whoever, with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a felony that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against property or against the person of another in violation of the laws of the United States, and under circumstances strongly corroborative of that intent, solicits, commands, induces, or otherwise endeavors to persuade such other person to engage in such conduct, shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half of the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the crime solicited, or both; or if the crime solicited is punishable by life imprisonment or death, shall be imprisoned for not more than twenty years.

(b) It is an affirmative defense to a prosecution under this section that, under circumstances manifesting a voluntary and complete renunciation of his criminal intent, the defendant prevented the commission of the crime solicited. A renunciation is not “voluntary and complete” if it is motivated in whole or in part by a decision to postpone the commission of the crime until another time or to substitute another victim or another but similar objective. If the defendant raises the affirmative defense at trial, the defendant has the burden of proving the defense by a preponderance of the evidence.

(c) It is not a defense to a prosecution under this section that the person solicited could not be convicted of the crime because he lacked the state of mind required for its commission, because he was incompetent or irresponsible, or because he is immune from prosecution or is not subject to prosecution.

I just watched the ad on the linked article.

My first thought...

“The Manor” looks like the elite hunting lodge were Antonin Scalia died.

If I did not know the plot, I would assume that Conservatives were hunting Leftists.

Maybe you should recharge the battery in your Inference Meter?

There may be an attempted slaughter, but once conservatives finally figure out what is happening they’ll respond in kind. There will be no stopping that juggernaut, and the left will finally realize just how badly they’re outnumbered. It will be ugly for them.

Bob”cat” Goldthwait made such a comedy movie years ago about a Leftist loon and his anarcho highschool sidekick going on a killing spree after “conservatives” including Democrat Fred Phelps and a Glenn Beck substitute).
