Like it doesn't even matter if the movie is actually good, the whole concept of "The Purge Day" is so fucking dumb I can't look past it.

The first Purge movie didn't even need the purge concept. Could have just been about some assholes chasing a homeless guy and that's it. It was an interesting concept that didn't even need to be.

Is so the middle/upper classes can murder the homeless/mentally ill/"undesired" with impunity.

Then people would be confused why they want to kill a homeless dude so bad. And they wouldn't stop at daybreak.

Nah the concept was what happens if Trump gets elected and the Republicans get control of the house and Senate.
Basically vote liberals or you get your ass murdered cause evidently nobody decided to rob banks or steal shit.

They want to kill the homeless dude because they're rich bored assholes. Also just end the movie when that is resolved, don't continue on with the end at dawn premise.

I am currently going through and watching any series of movies with 3 or more entries that I haven't seen before. So trust me when I say I am okay with watching garbage.

Also isn't one of the rules for the purge that certain political people are immune from it, like you can't kill them. Which seems stupid because they say that all laws are void. So they can't hold it against you for killing them.

Look at it as a thinly veiled commentary . . . as it is, and it's more enjoyable. I don't think it's meant to be a plausible story.
(More enjoyable =/= good, just less mind numbing)

I always thought The Purge had an interesting concept if you didn't think about it at all. Oh, a day where all crime is legal? That's interesting. But when you start to think about it, it falls apart. Wouldn't people seek revenge for the things done on the purge night? There's just no way all the crime and violence could be restricted to one day. Like, if you saw your neighbor kill your wife when it was legal, how the hell would you live next to him the rest of the year?

So the movie that came out in 2013 was about what would happen if Trump was elected?

Pretty much. I know it's just a dumb movie that isn't meant to be deep or meaningful, but it's still not a good sign when a few simple questions expose just how little sense the premise makes.

Dispite what the media would have you belive in reality most people would not just become murdering theatrical lunatics just because it was legal for one night. You would just see a lot of ODs and sexual assaults.

And yet one of the main villains of the second movie was clearly a reference to Hillary Clinton. Strange how that works.

If they would have done just one or maybe two movies it would have been good, but the more they make the more opportunity they give for people to think about it and poke holes in it.
