Exactly. The trailer makes the movie look like borderline propaganda from the alt-right message boards, i.e. peddling a white male victimization narrative, leading to radicalization and ultimately a warped justification for violence.

I highly doubt the movie itself is intentionally endorsing this parallel, but there's a high likelihood of it being misconstrued that way by predisposed right wingers. Kind of how drug dealers worship Scarface when it's supposed to be a cautionary tale.

This is kind of a tightrope act and Todd Phillips probably isn't the guy to handle it with any level of delicacy and nuance.
