On a side note...aren't we supposed to hear something juicy and unexpected from Rick Wilson and the Lincoln Project today? I keep checking their IG feeds and nothing yet...

(24,241 posts)Trump could chop the heads off of live babies at one of his rallies and the crowd would cheer.
I'm not kidding.

(28,918 posts)videos like this will make a lot of people just uncomfortable enough to vote for Trump or they might just decide not to vote at all. It's about moving 5% of people in swing states. This type of advertising accomplishes that.

(11,514 posts)As someone else said, there's a few percent of voters who are unsure of who they'll support. If we can keep ads such as this (and many others) in front of them they'll begin to realize that tRump is not a good choice to run this country.
I happen to have a cousin who's in that category, who happens to be lesbian. I personally can't see how she'd want to have anything to do with tRump or any repub, but she sees herself as a rebel and to some extent buys into the tough-guy bullshit tRump espouses. She's part of the audience these ads are targeting.

(21,341 posts)too old and feeble to lead them, they will rally around someone else.
If we manage to get enough votes against him counted in spite of voter suppression attempts to steal the election, and drag Trump from the WH when he claims that he won and the votes are not valid, his followers will form an opposition to try to impede Dems at all levels, as they did with Obama and his supporters.
We won't be rid of the scum after the election. We will need to stay actively on our toes long after November 3.

(9,055 posts)can't get his support down into the teens or less (where they should be) then I'm not sure what can bring those people out of their brainwashed stupor.

(9,055 posts)The only thing I can think of that would stop this is a hot mic situation where he is relentlessly bashing his supporters, picking them apart, laughing to the bank on their dime, insulting every single group he can come up with that support him. Screaming about how they "cling to their guns and bibles". But then again, they went rapid on Obama for that so I'm pretty sure if their guy said it they would twist their mutated brains to figure out how great Trump is for saying it.

(4,986 posts)where do they get shown? Is it up to us to circulate them on social media, or do they do ad buys?
Are the people who need to see them seeing them? IOW, are they shown on Fox?

(7,888 posts)I really believe the voting majority of Americans are ready to "dump rump and the rumpublicans".
Lots of work and organizing needed before 11/20, members of like mind in both parties need to step to the plate.

(12,858 posts)So many Evangelicals follow and believe what those speakers claim
They truly have cast this election as between the godly (pro Trump) and the demonic (us) We are quite literally their enemy who MUST be eliminated,

(3,321 posts)Fuck IQ45. Fuck every single supporter of the orange dotard.
Traitors will have a harsh reckoning. And, by traitors, I mean asshole alt-right dipshits, white supremacists, neo-nazis, boogaloo bois, proud boys, and any other group that pushes similar racist bullshit.
