23. The cultists will never be reached - but not all cons & not all

trump voters are. They are ones like my sibs who privately express alarm and disgust, and who just might be persuaded to sit this election out, if not vote for the Dem. I've been trying to tell them, you dont have to be a Dem or even like them to believe in the checks and balances of a functioning two party system that our founding fathers gave us.

The ad is saying there ARE republicans and conservatives out there who refuse to accept this nonsense and that they dont have to stop being conservatives to vote in favor of ending the trump presidency.

Its a "which side are you on" moment for them.

Wow, shaming Trump cultists -- good klook Apr 2020 #2

They are great ads but I have yet to see one anywhere but here. GemDigger Apr 2020 #3

They mainly get disseminated on social media misanthrope Apr 2020 #5

Right? I don't watch much tv MontanaMama Apr 2020 #60

I am getting their ads everywhere I go. TV, FB, YT, newspapers. GemDigger Apr 2020 #63

I think it's a "preaching to the choir" ad. thesquanderer Apr 2020 #4

what are you supposed to do? Nature Man Apr 2020 #8

Bill Clinton would say "I feel your pain." thesquanderer Apr 2020 #20

They ignored Clinton when he said that too lunatica Apr 2020 #24

yeah Nature Man Apr 2020 #34

I feel your pain wasn't meant for white supremacists JI7 Apr 2020 #39

I didn't see the protesters as white supremacists. What in the ad implies that they are? n/t thesquanderer Apr 2020 #43

It was actually for an HIV-AIDS activist who died a few months later Recursion Apr 2020 #47

wow, i knew about the aids activist but didn't know JI7 Apr 2020 #65

Yup. Funny how that works Recursion Apr 2020 #66

I didn't interpret it as insulting anyone. What part of it was insulting? catbyte Apr 2020 #10

If you're trying persuade people on the other side... thesquanderer Apr 2020 #18

After years of experience trying to "persuade people on the other side", pazzyanne Apr 2020 #19

This ad is more likely to stir those who sat out 2016 to get out and vote this time. yellowdogintexas Apr 2020 #55

Agree! nt pazzyanne Apr 2020 #56

And not even then. They will assign blame onto another party rather than the one responsible. nt Ferrets are Cool Apr 2020 #67

it's not trying to persuade Trump JI7 Apr 2020 #40

Instead of saying what the ad is not trying to do, can you tell me specifically what you think... thesquanderer Apr 2020 #44

like my brothers in law Captain Zero Apr 2020 #62

But they are selfish. Selfishness is one of the cornerstones of the repug party. Hotler Apr 2020 #50

I can't imagine anyone ever believing we could change their minds. patphil Apr 2020 #30

that's fine, but then, what exactly is the ad designed to accomplish? n/t thesquanderer Apr 2020 #32

I thought it was pretty self explanatory. patphil Apr 2020 #36

That's what it *says,* but what is it trying to *accomplish*? thesquanderer Apr 2020 #41

This message was self-deleted by its author mucifer Apr 2020 #35

it's not trying to change their minds, it's telling everyone else JI7 Apr 2020 #38

And how does one vote for one side or the other? thesquanderer Apr 2020 #42

Just whom is insulting whom? GusBob Apr 2020 #45

Didn't think hard, but the ad insults protesters and (by extension) those who sympathize with them, thesquanderer Apr 2020 #48

They hate you. paleotn Apr 2020 #57

Assuming you're right about all that, how does the ad help? What does it accomplish? (n/t) thesquanderer Apr 2020 #59

Viewed the ad twice. I think it's meant to make people think Raven123 Apr 2020 #68
