Why would a movie trying to dehumanize conservatives make the conservatives the heroes and victims against a bunch of global elites hunting humans for sport?
I’m unsure if anyone has read the synopsis. The beginning idea is the leftist elite are hunting conservatives. But the tables are turned and the conservatives hunt down and destroy the hunters.
That's a good question, but if you think back to sci-fi movies of the late sixties and early seventies, movies would often have a left winger as a villian. In Soylent Green, the villans took bodies and made food for an "overpopulated" Earth. A recent James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, had an Al Gore clone as the villain. Even the recent Marvel villian Thanos was left wing.
Perhaps they know that after a while, the evilness of the protagonist will be forgotten, but an imprint of the movie "ruling class hunts deplorables" stays.
