The republicans are shit.
They are disgusting they destroy the things that make this country worth living in.

I think this ad uses visceral disgust and tying that level of disgust to republicans is an interesting strategy.

Ogliarchical fascism feels like to people who aren't ogliarches like shit is falling from the sky.
And they can do nothing to stop it.

And the magats will watch it. Can you imagine a crass magat not checking it out just to see shit falling from the sky?

Plus its good to see a candidate quit playing up to the fake moralistic control freaks and just say the word shit out loud like its just a word like it always has been?

If the only point is to make people who already oppose Boebert happy, then its a waste of time and money.

I think this is directed at the non-maga repugs (of which there are a good number in that area) that might be sick of her nonsense.

As for "Who's mind does any political ad change?": if ads didn't influence behavior, they wouldn't be run.
