'Death of a Nation': Truth in advertising . . .

162.232.81.100

Billy Wonka

Conservative darling, Dinesh D'Souza, has released another biting, well researched film supporting America's silent majority. He draws parallels between our divisive nation both pre and post civil war and the resultant rise of politics and social branding as a result. Dinesh reveals who the real "racists" in America are and does his best to expose and prove his POV.

When you see trailers and adverts for his films you know what you are going to get. When I attended I don't think I saw a person under sixty in the audience and nary a minority of any kind. Most people in America really aren't interested in the truth.

I found this film lacking compared to his last, though. The narrative was uneven but overall the film followed the same path from beginning to end. Obviously, this film was not made for "winning over" anyone but for informing and encouraging Americans to embrace Constitutional America.

3 wonks for research and presenting it in an entertaining way
3 wanks for not having the same compelling story line his last

not enough old white folks interested in either I expect. A WHOPPING $2.35m for the whole weekend of showings.

    So, you're saying Spike is nearly 5 times more popular than that pardoned convicted felon? Bets on which film disappears from theaters the quickest?

- It wasn't produced and released for its box office potential... - Steve O 16:36:30 08/13/18 (1)
  ...it's a loving PSA to the nation. OTOH, considering its intended audience, maybe it should have been released direct to video cassette.

No youth or minorities - they knew what to expect.

I suspect your truth is my fake news.

  It's ALL fake news.
  
  Politics has been reduced to 'Performance Art'.
