That was astoundingly creepy, well done.
Gotta give that actor some recognition. He really nailed "Republican" with that performance.
... because it's based in reality.
tf is actually wrong with Republicans? Obsessed with the weirdest stuff, into hurting others and suffering, it's basically the worst possible people you could elect to run a government.
It's not always because they believe the bible, but it is often because they believe the bible. It describes a rapey abuser who can and will torture you to death if you don't blindly obey him, and they call that "love". They do completely backwards, wrong, harmful things while genuinely believing they are in the right.
You know that vague "mandate" they keep talking about? Spoilers, it's from god. That divine being which we have no actual evidence for, no reason to believe its existence, no way of contacting it to verify what it wants. It gives them a blank check to do whatever they want regardless of how many people they hurt.
This is just perfect framing.
Especially the "don't you have anything better to do"?
I was watching donnie supporters (on the Good Liars) claiming that trans is a major concern. They get asked how many trans athletes do they think there are (in NCAA), out of 500K+ athletes.
The answer is less than 10. We are supposed to pretend this is a major concern? Something we need to have all of our policies revolve around? Something that should decide the makeup of Congress? We have to endorse an entire other nexus of fascist bullshit because < 10 trans in something like NCAA??
I know a lot of conservatives seem to struggle with things like literacy and numeracy, but less than 10 divided by greater than 500000 is a vanishingly small percentage.
Also, how many people really cared about women's sports in this country before this became an issue?
It literally used to be a joke among men. ‘Oh, why are you watching women’s sports, is nothing else on’ or ‘haha boobies’ (volleyball and swimming were the worst by far for this). Outside of friends and family of the competitors, former players, and a lot of lesbians there was virtually no interest in it.
It must be a nightmare to suddenly be a forced political issue and it result in everything being worse for everyone.
Of the population now clutching their pearls over it, I'd guess it's maybe dozens.
That's generous
I actually really enjoy women's curling in the winter Olympics, although it wouldn't matter to me if a trans woman was one of them. It was just the first curling I ever saw. I don't even know why they divide sports that way anyway. It should all be divided by weight classes, like boxing, and sex/gender shouldn't play a role.
You don't understand the mind of conservatives. To a rational person, this might read as a non-issue, but to a conservative it's just confirmation bias.
You might view 10 out of 500K as "0.002%"
A conservative views it as "1000% of 'too many'"
Don't try to reason with them, it's a snakepit full of hydras. Just stomp them down at the first available opportunity. Back to tartarus, or wherever fascists hide while they wait for the world to forget
They just need someone to blame and one part of voters need someone to hate. It's much easier to pin everything wrong in the world on preferably a small minority, then promise to get rid of that minority. It's better than have people really looking at the policies they bring and who actually benefits from those.
Thank fuck someone with money finally figured out the right messaging.
In South Carolina the Democrats are doing the opposite messaging and talking about bipartisan politics, "protecting girls sports," and "securing the border."
This is what Democrats SHOULD be doing, not turning their backs on us.
It's time for America to grow from anti-trans to anti-conservative.
Conservatives are the single greatest threat to all life on earth. If not for conservatives, the normal people would be permitted to address climate change, wealth inequality, healthcare, housing, food scarcity and other existential crises caused by conservatives.
MAGA is a Domestic Terrorist Organization, and a genuine enthusiastic, ongoing National Security Threat. As such, it should be prohibited from existing. We wouldn't allow Al-Qaeda or ISIS to hold office, and MAGA is no different.
Unfortunately a lot of democrats are giving in and joining this bigotry.
Josh Turek is the latest to join the list, platforming on banning trans people in sports and ending federal funding for trans healthcare nationwide.
The Dem party is infested with a breed of conservative called neoliberals.
Do not vote for neoliberals unless you want neoliberals to continue running the party. Make sure the person who earns your vote is a progressive.

Sadly doesn't work when that's the only option
There is no peaceful solution to an infestation of conservatism. But, step one is proving that we tried the peaceful option first.
It is immoral to vote for a conservative. It is not immoral to overthrow conservatives by force or to remove them from functional society. They are a threat to the safety and welfare of everyone around them. Fixing this kind of mess has historically involved a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Mostly blood.
There are probably republicans watching this ad and thinking it's pro-republican
Those people are already so far gone that they're not worth trying to sway. As long as the ad makes independents grossed out by the Redpublicans its done its job
Yeah, the old idea that the Dems have to attract MAGA to their side is stupid, because MAGA is stupid. Nobody needs them on their side. Just focus on the Independents, they can read, have critical thinking skills (that's why they're independent), and they decide EVERY election. Independents are the target.
The independents and the unmotivated non-voters.
There are as many non-voters as there were people who intentionally voted for Trump's shitshow.
"How do I get that job?"
Video is question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt_IZoM9KuQ
"But but but! If GOP can't distract you with sexuality and religion, how will they keep critics away from unchecked O&G drilling?"
That's it, all we need to do is go past that paper thin veneer that paints the gop as good and decent people and display them for the ghoulish monsters that they really are.
I wouldn't even say this is exaggerated in the slightest. They're vile.
Government so small it can fit in a uterus.
Could also do for some more with these ads in your bedroom and doctors office among other places
Yah make a series out of it. It's absurd that the blue ties don't do this as a national strategy/ad buy
The Dems should be running ads like this constantly, outside of the campaign season. Make people see how perverse these MAGA weirdos are at ALL times.
Well done.
Creepy ad. I’m getting AI vibes though.
Really well done
HELL YEAH! another one!
Does anyone watch ads? I haven't seen one in years. I don't get it.
Those on Lemmy skew toward tech savvy, so a sampling of people from here is like standing outside a trump rally and asking who the best president was.
Does anyone watch ads? I haven't seen one in years
Some demographics watch them.
Other demographics (which have a strong overlap with people who know Lemmy exists) don't watch (or even see) most types of advertising.
Hell no, they are cancer.
