What a mess! Its like the PAC who made it hired a 13 year old who makes little dark age edits, from 1950s kitchen appliance ads, to be their campaign manager.
Aside from embracing a degree of queerphobia which might be off putting for even the boomers who vote in Republican primaries (the ad essentially calls Trump a cuck for holding a rainbow flag, and shows gigachad.jpg after a reporter called Florida's trans policies genocidal) its above all else terminally online. Filled with clips of Patrick Bateman and Thomas Shelby as the sigma music plays. For everyone whose not in the "teenager whose tiktok bio says libertarian traditionalist-Fascist" demo, it's completely bizarre.
Meanwhile Trump ads attack Desantis for stuff that boomers actually care about, like wanting to gut social-security and raise sales taxes to 23%, no wonder DeSantis is floundering so hard when he's failing the first TrueAnon rule: be normal.
Anyway here's the ad if you're interested (TW: extreme queerphobia)

Filled with clips of Patrick Bateman
That movie's reception demonstrated so many staggering failures of literary analysis among its consumers that it gives me chills.
I don't know, a power-obsessed sadist who gleefully watched his 'clients' get tortured at Guantanamo Bay, is kinda like Patrick Bateman fr
These are also the guys who watch edits of Inglorious Baestards that make the Nazis seem cool. Basically, they just skip 75% of the movie.
I feel like Jojo Rabbit worked, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone think they were cool in that
It does, but you need to be more ham-fisted about the pathetic wretchedness of the Nazis. Any frame with them in it must be an indictment of them.
The Producers, as far as I know, didn't have nazis say "based" and model themselves after the not-stageplayed nazi in it.
The only guy I know who failed that test works for/with Bari Weiss.
So... the more leather and the more daddy - the more protection. Tom of Finland documentary on Fox News when?
The first time I saw it I didn’t even understand it was supposed to be an anti-Trump ad, I thought it was made by like, Gays-for-Trump or something
Yeah I saw some headlines but this is the first time I was presented with a link to the actual ad.... Desantis is somehow even more screwed than I thought
This ad is what happens when you alienate artists.
Who is the intended audience for this? Blackpilled zoomers? That's not a very reliable voting block.
By alienating artists you mean queer people? This is clearly the result of your only policy being queerphobia. You end up with the most closeted misanthropics possible. Whoever made this is arguably an artist though. Its just their art medium is a 4chan webm.
I mean not every artist is queer, but the entertainment industry is full of queer people and friends of queer people. Even opportunists wouldn't want to risk their livelihood by working with DeSantis.
It just seems so ridiculous. My sister is mad that people are focusing on the fact that it's ridiculous rather than focusing on the fact that it's fascist, though.
undefined> rather than focusing on the fact that it's fascist, though.
That is fair. I mean, it's literally comparing Meatball Ron to the serial killer in American Psycho as though that is a good thing.
Yeah but he's going to get absolutely dumpstered by Trump, so it seems like unnecessary mental anguish to worry about it.
It is pretty disgusting since it's like an inch away from a goose-stepping Hell March montage
something that fucks me up about the meatball is, what happens if trump dies or strokes out in the lead up to the primary. he seems pretty stressed out by the court shit. who is the GOP back up? wouldn't it be ron?
if trump is out and ron flops over the primary line, wouldn't the national chuds rally around him? at that point the only thing standing between him and the highest office is Biden, who is basically a quart of hotdog water in a shell made of 80% bondo and denture adhesive at this point. can you imagine copmala v desantis? or rather: can you imagine how hard the media would scream at voters to be emotionally invested in that contest?
the trouble with these absolutely ancient relics is that they could just keel over at the wrong time and create a procedural opening for a highly ambitious mutant with no establishment or popular backing. aka Cool Zone Overdrive.
I feel like this is the last thing that's going to convince me someone is really smart lmao
Show
Missed opportunity to win over some
by saying DARK TRIAD and/or COOL, CALM, COLLECTED. 
Getting on a helicopter immediately tells me something about your intelligence
where are they showing this ad? the only person it could possibly appeal to is an under-25 neo-Nazi
Is it possible the entire desantis campaign is meant to make trump look like the lesser of 2 evils?
please dont tell me this is real, if this is i will genuinely be convinced that the world ended in 2012 and we've all been in purgatory together since then
Was that DiCaprio from Wolf of Wall Street? I literally couldn't tell if that was supposed to be a good or evil part of the video.

Did based asshole man have epic lines and do chuddy things?
If so, then good.
Some chuds are still mad that later seasons of The Boys made Homelander look bad.
I'd say that's why chuds are wrong about English majors, but The Boys is so simple even a child could figure out Homeland is bad.
Some unofficial campaign account tweeted it which isn't abnormal (esp. compared to Trump) but the main account retweeted it, which is incredibly dumb. The DeSantis campaign is standing by it because they unfortunatly aren't dumb enough to ever aplogize. As much as the media is making hay about it because its hot gossip, they can't articulate just how fucking "yes i am the badly guy", and closeted and/or incel 4channer it is.
Can't he be sued for all the copyrighted shit that's in that advertisement lol?
Campaign ads aren't the same thing as Twitter shit posts legally speaking right?
Like I doubt Christian Bale or the Chad model guy gave their likeness away for this. That's legitimately bad for their careers
They don't usually flash celebrities faces right next to inarguable hate speech lol
But is their face their IP or the IP of the studio that owns the movie?
It'd be hilarious though if this trash was actually sued into oblivion though. You stole IP to make a 4chan webm and used it as a campgain ad.
The Chad guy definitely has his own brand, I'm not sure how it works with Bale and the movie though
He's a real guy afaik, but depending on the meme it might have more Photoshop than others.
The original photoshoot was an art project apparently with a lot of manipulation, so idk it's complicated there as well I guess
Gigachad literally isn't a guy, he's a work of art created using multiple different guys (as in, not the same guy in every picture) as a base for photoshop.
Yeah I looked into it like way back and apparently I just took the misinformation about it they originally put out about it being a real guy and never looked any further.
I was just like yep steroids and plastic surgery and air brushing can probably make someone look like that and never thought about it again lol
https://www.instagram.com/berlin.1969/?hl=en
Besides the plastic surgery, is this a fake person?
The Chad model guy isn't real, they're highly doctored images from an artist who takes real people and chadifies them. The base models are generally unrecognizable compared to the final product.
The artist who makes them knows they have an alt right following and panders to them with a crypto grift. I doubt they care about this usage.
You mean this guy?
Because he's very much real, his Instagram is like Berlin1969 or something
That's an Instagram dedicated to the art project lmao

It is probably fair use. Also copyright has nothing to do with reputations being harmed. I guess they could sue for defamation but that wouldn't go anywhere either.
Actually, the music is probably not fair use, if they didn't license it.
The people behind Peaky Blinders issued a statement yesterday, or the day before, calling them out for using their work. There's not much that can be done because Meatball's gang o' goons aren't passing it off as their own work, merely using it as part of something else. There could be an issue with licensing, but it's so tenuous its hardly worth fighting.
Bale's American Psycho imagery has been used on 4chan and elsewhere for decades at this point, if he was concerned about it harming his career he would have done something about it already.
I just figured there's a difference between a political advertisement vs shit posting as far as free use goes
