To add context, the ads are on YouTube, I’m in North Carolina, they’ve mostly (all?) been regarding Medicare with a voiceover saying “He’s not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid” followed with him saying “None of that stuff is gonna be touched”
I can only imagine there’s some local elections or primaries that have his stink on it and some GOP candidate is trying to ‘roll down the windows’?
Because you’re not blocking ads.
Exactly. Switch to Firefox + uBlock Origin. Problem solved.
Because he’s a narcissistic, egotistical, megalomaniac and loves seeing his face and hearing his own voice. The ads are not for you. They’re for him.
Bingo.
at this point I suspect they’re also buying air time to deny it to other outfits like Lincoln Project.
Yep, he likes running for office where he can get cheers and applause, but not actually governing. Except he’s too chicken shit to actually hold rallies anymore for fear someone puts a bullet through his skull. Probably a reasonable fear too, given the rate he’s breaking things in the States.
I haven’t seen a commercial in years, but what I can speak about is the random us flags. Is this for July 4th or is it to support Trump? My grocery store sells so many sizes now and they’re so cheap. It’s the cheapest thing they have.
Propaganda sinks in better if it’s heard years in advance instead of 3 months before the election. It’s easier to make people think other news sources are exaggerating if they’ve heard the opposite for months and months prior
Not really an answer to your question, but Firefox + Ublock Origin will fix that problem for you.
And YouTube ReVanced for mobile.
And NextDNS for everything else.I like https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe
Is ReVanced having any features I’m missing out on with NewPipe? (Serious question, never bothered trying ReVanced)
ReVanced mods the official YouTube apk, meaning you maintain syncing watch history, subscriptions, likes, comments etc. Which iirc NewPipe doesn’t. Whether you care about that is entirely up to you though, NewPipe is certainly better if you care more about privacy
Because he is going to cut Medicare and Medicaid, all of that stuff is gonna get touched.
“no no no, I cut OBAMAcare”
I will never stop laughing at “I hAve CONcePtS of A PlAN” said in the voice of a fucking child who got caught lying
I, almost for certain, thought that (along with the rest of that debate) was the end of him at the time. Entire political careers have lived and died on sub-10-second sound bites, and there is no way to spin that to make him sound like he knows what he’s doing.
Bro if the fuckin’ grabbing women by the pussy comment, the 30+ felonies, the insurrection, the mocking of the disabled, the comments about the underage pageant contestants, being best friends with Jeff Epstein, and generally being a fucking LOSER didn’t do it, why would him saying he has a plan do anything?
I forgot about him calling dead soldiers losers.
And the nonstop golfing.
And the theft of classified documents.
And the pissy sex party.
And trying to nuke a hurricane.
him being a shitty human being is something his supporters like and admire, but even really terrible people prefer a leader that has some idea of what they’re going to do as a leader.
I have to disagree. The supporters around me like the chaos.
I tell them that their idea of changing the government is akin to burning their house down with their children inside because it needs new plumbing. They just don’t care.
And I understand why they are the way they are - they’re desperate, and they lack the cognitive capacity to fully understand what’s happening. I can’t blame them, as much as I want to. They’re sick - mentally ill. Truly broken by a system that’s designed to break them.
this is the local representation hiding behind the orange dictators apron strings. they refuse to meet with their consituents to answer to their actions (or lack thereof), so theyre attempting to appeal to the hyper-maga crowd who are so brainwashed by fox news they believe this shit.
This is why. Republicans in Congress are planning to take “at least” $880 Billion over ten years out of Medicare and Medicaid to pay for extending tax cuts for the wealthy. There are also ads in the opposite direction raising alarm about this. They say they’ll make the cuts without reducing benefits, and by that they generally mean they’re going to pay doctors even less for caring for those patients.
The Coalition to Strengthen Healthcare has some resources to facilitate grass roots advocacy if you’re interested!
That or they are going to cut Medicare and then blame it on the democrats, and people will believe it because they saw the commercial.
All of the above
Because he is going to run for a third term and they’re expecting to lose with the current momentum.
He is a Narcissist. He needs to be loved, that’s why he thrives in his role of Almighty President-King.
Polls are showing that he isn’t, so he pushes ads here and tries to buy love there.
They run TV ads in California where Kristi Noem talks about how great Trump is for deporting all of these people and how secure America is. Then pictures of CECOT prisoners arranged in little squares surrounded by guards proudly posed. It’s so odd.
