conservatives also have the right to their Christmas movie

The film “Jingle Smells” by Daniel Lusko, with actors with conservative positions, presents itself as a film wanting to denounce “cancel culture”.

In the United States, the Christmas movie genre is very popular. It is generally filled with excellent sentiments, but a variant was released on November 23 in the country, Jingle Smells, a play on words with the famous song Jingle Bellswho gave Long live the wind in French. This feature film aims to denounce cancel culture and targets a rather conservative audience.

It tells the story of Mason Stone, an action movie star who is “canceled” because he published a post on social media in which he had the audacity to ask that God protect America and that God protect the troops. The woke public does not appreciate it and under popular pressure, a company which manufactures figurines bearing its image decides to throw them all away and it is up to a group of garbage collectors to destroy them. Except one of the garbage collectors, Nick Gutman, an armed forces veteran, refuses to do so and instead distributes the figurines to children in need, like a Christmas Robin Hood.

With this story, director Daniel Lusko, author of a thriller about Christian censorship entitled Persecutedwith several actors known for their conservative position (like the comic Jim Breuer or John Schneider, one of the Duke cousins ​​in the glorious 1980s series Sheriff, scare me), takes the opportunity to make fun of climate change obsessives or kale lovers.

A broadcast platform banned in France

The producers are also conservative personalities like Jay Sekulow, a lawyer who defended Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial and especially Sean Hannity, presenter of one of Fox News’ most followed talk shows. He has even become a figure on the right for more than two decades. The themes of Jingle Smells are also part of the regular subjects of his show, such as what he calls “the war on Christmas”. Conservatives, Donald Trump first, are convinced that the Christian holiday of Christmas displeases a part of the country which prefers to wish for the most neutral “Happy Holidays” that “Merry Christmas”.

To view Jingle Smells, You must have access to Rumble, a platform that can be presented as the YouTube of conservatives where all voices have the right to be heard. We talk about Alt-Tech as we talk about Alt-Right, the alternative right. This is the first time that a feature film has been broadcast on the platform on which we can mainly watch documentaries or talk shows. It is available on pay-on-demand for $19.99. Most of the approximately 80 million users of Rumble, launched 10 years ago by a Canadian entrepreneur, are in the United States.
