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)

    That movie's reception demonstrated so many staggering failures of literary analysis among its consumers that it gives me chills. doomer

      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.

        When will writers realize that satire about Nazis just doesn’t work

          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.
