While Michael Moore strongly opposes Trump, this film isn't a partisan defense of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. Trump didn't arise out of a vacuum. His election was a result of a steady erosion in trust in America's major political parties and the decimation of America's industrial heartland. Michael Moore wrote an article predicting that the traditionally Democratic states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin might go to Trump due to dissatisfaction over the loss of industrial jobs over the last few decades and Hillary Clinton's support of NAFTA. This movie talks the economic and other reasons Trump won the election despite most predictions. Sanders voters were discourage from voting after the Clinton team rigged the primaries against their candidate. Fahrenheit 11/9 does a great job of covering the Flint Crisis, and I think that Moore could easily expand on the material on Flint in this film to make a documentary on that subject alone. Republican governor Rick Snyder helped to poison Flint in order to help his corporate donors and for years denied that Flint water was unsafe, despite water contamination severe and/or permanent damage thousands of Flint residents including many children. President Obama did little or nothing to help the people of Flint, which led to dissatisfaction with both political parties by Flint residents. Michael Moore gives hope to those who oppose Bush and the main Democratic Party leadership Michael Moore does provide some hope by showing candidates who are challenging the Democratic Party establishment and trying to institute real change. Fighting Trump isn't enough. He is a symptom not the disease.
