"What is it with liberals and wanting to control every damn aspect of your life?"
Last time I checked, it was the liberals who wanted to let you smoke weed, have safe and legal abortions, physician assisted suicide, single payer healthcare, and free college tuition...
Somebody else opposed all that... 🤔 Who was it again?
That's what pisses me off about the democrats. They have the political slogans right in fucking plain view. The Republicans have basically written them for them......nothing.
Massive billboards everywhere should have this plastered: We want you to be able to smoke and grow weed, have women make their own choices, paid college tuition, single payer healthcare, medicine affordable for seniors, and WE WONT COMMIT TREASON AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION!
It's fucking bonkers.
People already know or are utterly brainwashed. Who do attack ads convince?
Independants/undecided voters and people who don't generally participate in democracy
Something like 60% of people vote in federal elections if we're lucky. Obviously they aren't all going to unanimously vote for only one party - but Republicans are notorious for showing up to vote on anything.
Voter suppression is a pretty big problem that disproportionately affects people who don't vote republican though.
The number of people who are politically disengaged is staggering. What better to motivate those people than to prompt some anger over an issue and hope they care about it enough to stay angry and vote. Also important to note this stuff is never done alone, there's other outreach happening at the same time. It's a numbers game, and those few disengaged folks you got fired up with a stupid ad could make or break you.
That said, I think most attack ads are damaging to political discourse by nature of demanding a concise, pithy message. Never going to get genuine criticism out of that.
Dems have always took the high ground. Which is stupid. It gives the loud minority more reach. Look at space Laser lady.
She was in a safe seat. It's the gun restaurant lady who almost got voted out.
You just ruined my day reminding me that she won re-election.
I love my wife to bits but she honestly can't be bothered to pay attention to politics and doesn't understand why it's so upsetting to me rn.
It doesn't have to be an attack ad. Rebranding what it means to be a Democrat is actually a great idea. Kind of like those "Pass it on" billboards
You need to keep washing the brain or it develops thoughts outside the script.
Then why do the other side do so well when they constantly yell about nothing? Yelling really seems to work.
I always assumed senility played a part as republicans tend to be much older.
I’m allowed to wear what I want and control my hormone levels in fucking Massachusetts
The same response can be posted to anything related to modern "conservatism".
Fascists have no shame. If they didn't have double standards they'd have none.
The propagandized are already in a bubble and refuse to accept reality. The fascist leadership can manufacture any alternate reality they want because the sheep will blindly follow.
Fascists make up false accusations about their intended victims not so that you will believe them and be misled, but as an insecure show of power.
By telling lies about you and getting away with it, they convince themselves that they are stronger and more deserving than you. This is basically a way to psych themselves up to commit crimes against humanity.

No, that's what progressives want. Liberals run on a subset of those sometimes, but then always have enough no votes to block them.
The "fun" part is that the Democratic party and the Republican party are both neoliberal parties. If you really want to melt the brain of conservatives, here's one of my favorite phrases:
I'm not a Democrat, but I vote for them. They're the only good conservative party left in this country!
Who was it again?
The Judean People's Front?
The People's Front of Judea!
I thought we were the Popular Front!
People's Front!
#SPLITTER!
Who was it again?
The Whig Party!!! /s
"free college tuition" - like to eliminate laws mandating non-free college tuition?
