The ad is a video distillation of Trump’s brand of nativism, rehashing his claim that the majority of Latino immigrants are criminals, and that they and their families “have to go.” Trump isn’t at all troubled by the fact that he is now the self-described anti-love candidate, doubling down on a message of explicit hatred. His video is also weak on evidence; of the three “murderers” featured in the ad, only one was convicted.
But that doesn’t matter. All Trump had to do was find three scary-looking brown faces and throw them together, leaving them on the screen just long enough for you to see their faces and read their names. The video lasts all of fifteen seconds, and plays on infinite loop, allowing a passive viewer to associate Bush with brown criminals over, and over, and over again.
For many THAT ad reminds them of THIS ad used by supporters of George H, Bush against challenger Michael Dukakis back in 1988.
Damn! Using the same tactics that your dad used to attack his opponents to attack you. That is some cold shit right there.
And it did not take long for Jeb! to hit back.
Yep, gonna need more popcorn!
It's been said many a time, "The old ways are best."
ReplyDeleteAre we sure Trump isn't a Dem playing a TeaTHUG?'Cause the results are about the same.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what Trump is.
DeleteWherever he is now, Lee Atwater is having a good chuckle.
ReplyDeleteLet them keep eating their own, couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of Neanderthals.
ReplyDeleteHope the DNC is keeping track of all their devious tactics for future reference.
