The 2010 Robert Rodriguez film "Machete" has officially morphed from "movie" to "prophecy."
This post won't mean anything to those of you who haven't seen the movie.
But if you have, Don Johnson's "Von Jackson," a "twisted border vigilante leading a small army" and Robert De Niro's "Senator John McLaughlin," a "politician campaigning to incite hatred against illegal immigrants," so closely mirror what is happening right now that the movie can no longer be considered a work of "fiction."
If you watch it, it will ring as true as the "total government control" motif of "They Live."
VOTE on the 6th. End this horror movie.
