1. Wow that's good

I wish ads like that were played on tv

[speak easy]

9. ouTube Comment: People act like Trump would kick a puppy. That's ridiculous.

He’d hire someone else to kick a puppy, then deny knowing the person he hired, and absolutely refuse to pay them.

My take: He'd tell his MAGAts that the puppy was incurrably rabid and a danger to everyone.

2. Spoken in their language

Powerful. Sadly I still don't see this getting through to my far right maga relatives. That's how far down the hole they are.

11. I have friends who I would call "MAGA adjacent", and this won't land with them either.

These friends don't openly admit to voting for the guy, but "coincidentally" 80% of their ideas on politics line up with MAGA talking points.

They are going to immediately scoff at this comparison and note the crime against coolness that is taking Donald Trump seriously.

I think a lot of his younger/middle age supporters find him entertaining and edgy. He's a fun practical joke against "the establishment". And in line with that, they will block any attempt to seriously criticize him with their favorite thought terminating cliche: "Trump derangement syndrome".

I respect what the Lincoln project is trying to do here, but the risk of it coming off as hyperbole is high. I actually think we'd be better off throwing diaper jokes for the next 10 months, and making ads of him tripping down stairs and claiming that he's running against "Obamna".

16. Yep, the cult is irredeemable, but for everyone else this is a good reminder of what's at stake

GOTV is the key.

3. Where TFG supporters stole it from originally ...

19. That's what farmers use to be

And in some backwoods on a road yet to be identified by Google maps, there is a farmer just like that. Hard working, dedicated, carful with his animals, gentle with his dogs and livestock. A person who goes out in 18 degree F with a blizzard blowing to be sure the chickens have liquid water and unfrozen feed.

But that kind of farmer is so rare anymore as to be invisible. Now, they buy house sized row crop tractors to work a dead soul. They pull underground water out and over water their grains. They pour chemicals all over their crops to replace the life they killed in their soil.

They specialize because it's all about making money and competing with South American and Chinese farmers, and god know what they are allowed to drench their crops with.

They follow the directions of Tyson and Smithfield and build space ship like coops and little torturous birthing barns. Then pray their chickens and pigs will be purchased at the top of the contract price, otherwise they will have to take out another loan.

Anyway, thanks for posting that. Now I know why the one the stinky Nazi put out kept talking about sitting down to dinner. With all his adipose tissue, you would think he would avoid make so many references to eating....then again.

21. Yep, I remember that.

Much of America dutifully listened to Harvey's simple-minded, AM radio clap trap and "amen!"ed while he stabilized and memorialized Wall Street worship, the MIC and racist demagoguery by innuendo and "shame on the blasphemer". He wasn't necessarily an evil force, but he was certainly an unapologetic foe of progressivism. Personally, not a fan.

[ampm]

4. Yep, he did

But where was Putin, Mussolini and Oraban so many we don't see that the Republican party worships

5. Bookmarking to share.

6. Good one!

[Jilly_in_VA]

7. Fantastic!

But they won't get it. We will, though

[Blue Owl]

8. And a fat, smelly, odious one at that

[liberalla]

10. Wow! Great video! Well done Lincoln Project!

[JohnnyRingo]

12. Impactive!

I think the Lincoln Project has done more than the Democratic Party to expose and defeat Trump.

[Hekate]

14. We do our part -- they do theirs

[Hekate]

13. Whew. That should give us all a shudder.

[chouchou]

15. I enjoyed it but, the few MAGAs I know would poo-poo it as trying too hard...

....to bring down a strong leader. (Thank God I only have to put up with their dumb asses once every 2 weeks ...meeting)

[democrank]

17. The Lincoln Project has done it again

Chilling, brutal truth

[niyad]

18. Excellent! Too bad that the people who need to see it, won't.

[republianmushroom]

20. Sorry but "god" didn't, greed and stupidity did.

You are blaming a god , when it was the stupidity of man.

[Torchlight]

22. LP seems to be micro-targeting the last, few mutable members of the electorate.

I sit in the cheap seats watching a guy with 91 criminal indictments (and counting) pretending nothing will ever happen to him. I watch his fan-base pretend the same. Well worth the cost of the cheap seats.

23. This should have a million recs

24. TFG is relying on the religious nut cases in his base

TFG is playing to the religious nut cases in his base

But what matters about the campaign commercial is the audio that plays while the Republican is seen walking:

“This is the final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State. We will expel the war mongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists; we will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will route the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.”

Most of the rhetoric was boilerplate, though it was his first five words that stood out as notable: “This is the final battle.”,,,,,

But there’s a bit more to it than that. The Washington Post’s Philip Bump had a terrific piece along these lines a couple of months ago:

If your immediate point of reference for that [“final battle”] phrase wasn’t to the Book of Revelation’s depiction of the apocalypse, you are probably not a Trump supporter. (A 2012 poll from PRRI found that the religious group most likely to say that the end times as predicted in Revelation would occur during their lives was evangelicals.)

Noting the invocation at a Trump rally in Iowa in November, Bump highlighted the rhetoric from a conservative Baptist preacher, who insisted that “lies, corruption, and propaganda are driving civilization to ruins.”....

It’s a safe bet that when the Republican frontrunner makes references to “the final battle,” that young evangelist hears something different than secular audiences hear.

25. The Lincoln Project sent a billboard truck to Trump's rally in NH this evening.

26. One wonders if they are smart enough to understand message at the end of video?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. TFG supporters may be too stupid to understand this ad

29. This is probably the overall most powerful ad LP has ever made.

The funniest overall ad they've ever done is still Covita (a parody of Evita).

[CTyankee]

30. who is the narrator?

[diva77]

31. I think this ad makes some of the evangonuts smug in their support of chump - it speaks directly to their

brainstems where all their beliefs are embedded. It's really a pro-chump ad for them.
