Good Ad

It's a terrible ad IMO.

The only people it speaks to are people who will already knee-walk on broken glass on election day to vote for Trump.

Everybody else I think it turns off. Regular people (non-cult members) do not resonate with paranoid conspiracy words like "Uniparty."

Not to mention, the average person is not going to watch this or any commercial paying more than about 20% attention.

If you're walking back and forth between the den and the kitchen making a sandwich while this commercial is playing you might very well infer the opposite of the intended message.

This is another case of populist cult members not understanding what people outside the cult are like and thinking that populist cult messages resonate with everyone like they do inside their echo chamber.

They don't.

What I think is most likely to resonate with the average person seeing this ad is the Democratic message that Trump supporters are "dangerous cultish nut-jobs who want to destroy our Democracy."

If Trump loses the election it won't be because of cheating. It will be because of stuff like this. Being absolutely and willfully tone-deaf to the voters who actually elect a POTUS.
