Donald Trump on Sunday proposed a new policy that many critics said is equivalent to legalizing “The Purge.”

Trump spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he admitted that his attendees were “falling asleep” at one of his earlier rallies. Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign noted that, as Trump was still speaking at the swing-state event over the weekend, rallygoers placed directly behind the former president started to funnel out of the building.

One comment Trump made drew condemnation on social media, as well as numerous comparisons to The Purge, a film series based on a dystopian world in which the government makes all crimes legal for a 12-hour period.

As reported by Sebastian Smith, AFP Washington desk chief, “Trump in Erie, PA, says in US ‘the police aren’t allowed to do their job.’ To stop crime, you need ‘one really violent day.’ He says: ‘One rough hour and I mean real rough, the word would get out and it would end immediately.’”

    (It’s “you’re” )

    And FYI, I’m probably left of your beliefs. I just understand the existential threat of another Trump presidency. I live in the Real World, where compromise and Progress are better than holding out for perfect and getting nothing, or worse…

    If We The People (left, center, and the extremely rare Never-Trump Republicans) are somehow able to keep him and his dangerous revenge tour intentions and Project 2025 schemes out of the White House, there’s another timeline where the United States becomes a failed, fascist Oligarchy. Don’t say it can’t happen here, because history tells us it absolutely can. In fact, we’ve never been closer!

    Kamala Harris is great! Perfect? No. But at this moment in history nothing is more important than keeping Donald Trump from subverting the democracy of our entire country…
