* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: After the end the [[Film/ThePurgeElectionYear last film]], the Purge had been abolished with the newly elected President attempting to restore order to America. There were hints that the pro-Purgers would rebel against this, leading to a civil war. Instead, the film skips that and simply starts with the [[StatusQuoIsGod Purge reinstated by a new NFFA.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Only due to the release delays from the covid pandemic. The film released just 5 months after an attempted coup by white terrorists with the assistance of local police and government forces on the US capital, instigated by members of the conservative party who then nearly became victims of it themselves (including a gallows erected by crowds chanting to hang then Vice President Mike Pence), eerily similar to the one from the backstory of the film. Mercifully the hordes of people were held off by a small minority of individual police in key areas, including Secret Service agents managing to prevent an incursion by a group through the windows of the capital building, driving them back and killing several terrorists.

** Some have found them incredibly similar to the alt-right and extremist segments of the MAGA movement that surged to prominence during and after the Trump Administration. These people were and are seen as a far more unstable and dangerous breed of right-winger, who were well known for their violent outbursts and threats against perceived political enemies, even including ''other right-wingers'' who they felt didn't go far enough. This general phenomenon of extremist conservatives turning on more reasonable and traditional conservatives is frighteningly similar to the New Founding Fathers being overwhelmed by the Ever After Purgers (a monster of their own making). In January 2021, a group of far-right extremists attacked the US Capitol in order to overturn the 2020 Presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.

* HarsherInHindsight: The Forever Purgers and their anti-government beliefs line up quite ironically with recent history of crime and such in America, with this film coming out within 6 months of the Biden administration taking power. Undocumented immigrants have crossed the border at unprecedented levels, violent crimes are up across the board, and incendiary political rhetoric and politically-motivated violence have been more notable than it has in many years.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: To what extent are the Ever After Purgers motivated by racism and xenophobia? Is it a core plank of the group as a whole, or just the personal belief of some members/factions? For that matter, do the Ever After Purgers even have an ideology beyond "keep the purge going"?
