Because they perceive it as being "Liberal" or "Woke" based on what Conservative media has told them. Of course good old fashioned militarism is going to sell well among the deplorables.

Most liberals don't care as long as there isn't in-your-face bigotry and the film is well done.

Then Fox News can go thump their chests and proclaim that only films approved by the Red Hats (ie. The "Real" Americans) will do well.
