Just rewatched the latest Trump ad with the sound off. Here are its messages, by second. 1/x

0:13-0:24 Biden is a Hollywood globalist
0:26-0:32 Dems are led by a woman and by a Jew wearing African cloth
0:33-0:40 Brave soldiers have died.
Next group of messages 2/x

0:40-0:48 Real Americans eat pork chops
0:49-1:40 Trump is awesome and commands a lot of military hardware
1:40-1:50 Only scared women, elitists, and the media are afraid of COVID
3/x

1:50-2:03 More Trump is awesome. Also, his police break down doors without elitist/globalist search warrants
I suppose this ad touches QAnon trigger points and appeals to Trump's most fascoid voters.

Meanwhile, schools cannot reopen in September and virus numbers are spiking.

4/x
Does anybody on the Trump campaign ever think, "What are we saying? Who are we talking to? Why are we doing this?"

Or do they really believe that this election will be won or lost on racist message boards?
As is, the Trump campaign 2020 is as if Herbert Hoover tried to convince Americans to overlook the Great Depression in 1932 by posing for a lot of jut-jawed photographs on the deck of South Dakota-class battleships
"Bread lines, schmead lines. Look at these cool new Curtis Sparrowhawk biplanes!"
