The reason they'd never do a Purge

A particularly nasty piece of right-wing whacking material called The First Purge is currently in the flicker-show houses of our divided land.

A reminder of what this trash is about: a political party the likes of which Trump’s minders wish they could form decides to cut down on its surplus gangbanger, poor people and liberal population by designating one night a year when everything is legal, in hopes that the “good people” of the land would kill off the bad people.

In reality, the gangbangers would declare a one-night truce and hold an all-gang party, the hard right would spend its time doing drugs, having sex with children and dumping hazardous waste, and the liberals would bomb churches, gun-related businesses, and GOP clubhouses, spring people locked up for non-violent marijuana offenses from jail, and smoke a lot of weed to celebrate.
