Part of the problem is I don’t think anyone ever heard of this movie until it was about to come out. So it was too late to lobby the production company to drop it before it started shooting. Saying it shouldn’t be released was an appeal to those same producers. That is not censorship because those bringing pressure to bear have no power other than public opinion. Social media companies banning people is censorship because those firms CAN drop the axe.
We’ll just have to have two different opinions on the subject.
Was it not such a good idea to even make the Movie, probably.
Could the timing of its release been any worse, probably not.
When they made the Movie about assassinating POTUS Bush 43 (while he was in Office) I had a different take. That was bordering on Criminality.
I would have objected if they used POTUS Obama (it makes me queasy just saying that) instead, but we all know that would have never crossed their minds in the first place.
