The politics of the Purge franchise are surprisingly good for the Amerikkkan horror schlock it is. The Purge: Election Year follows an Elizabeth Warren type running on a Purging Is Bad Actually platform against the fascist leader, a Christian minister. Over the course of the movie she realizes voting isn’t enough and after being saved by a black street gang, the heroes bust into the Christian church which is the fascist headquarters and shoot most of the fascist leaders. She wins the election but that just makes the Purger hogs start insurrectioning all over the place.
