I honestly found this movie so boring that I went for a walk around the mall for a bit, half way through. The mall was mostly closed, so if two of my friends weren't still watching the film I would have gone home.
I grudgingly returned to the cinema and watched the incredibly boring conclusion.
And as someone else pointed out, it really was made with the intent to be a victory lap at trumps assumed failure at a second presidency, so that not actually being the case hangs over the movie rather embarassingly.
Movie was filmed in 2022, written before that, before he even confirmed he was running again. Of course people who reach this hard rarely look for facts, but rather, what their preconceived notions confirm to them.
Watch the film and tell me that Mark Ruffalo's character isn't meant to be Trump, his followers aren't meant to be MAGA cultists, and the explicit plot point of him losing two presidential elections isn't a reference to him losing to the Dems a second time.
So what if it was written before trump announced he was rerunning, most people could see where the tide was turning, and the movie pulls no punches in it's satire of him.
I mean we all knew he was running again, that's not even a reach lol
