It's less that and more people gushing about how Joker is supposedly the greatest piece of entertainment in the history of history (spoiler: it isn't, it's decent at best) and that this validates that argument. Either that, or they're just part of the right wing trying to push back against the left wing, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Joker is a left-leaning movie (and apparently director Todd Phillips is oblivious, too).
