True, more "average" people are seeing this movie, but the folks gushing over it are mostly the usual suspects. This movie will probably radicalize a few more people, but what kind of long term change does this mean? Are we talking about people "seeing the light" and deciding to vote for the left wing of the Republican Party, or will this film radicalize people to reject electoral politics in order to work for direct action in their communities?
