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 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
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!
Because he is going to run for a third term and they’re expecting to lose with the current momentum.
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.
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.
Because we do not live in a Democracy with regular election seasons.
We live in a fascist oligarchy, which must constantly beam propoganda into the minds of its citizens.

Trump basically never stopped campaigning during the entirety of the Biden term, nor even for his fist term… despite being the President.
US political ad seasons are notorious for being … way too long, up to a year… compared to most functional demcracies, where this ad season is often several weeks, not several, or many months.
Trump ratcheted this lengthy American political ad season into just literally all the time.
Before him, a sitting President running ads… during the middle of their own term… I think its literally unprecedented. Sure they’d give addresses and speeches to the public in extraordinary situations… but not run what amount to campaign ads… just all the time.
This is the power of money and media in the digital age.
Tell the lies often enough, and they become real to the enthralled. Literally right out of Goebbels playbook.
It truly now just is cult reaffirming propoganda, in the derogatory 1984/dictator sense of propoganda
Trump has stated many times he’ll serve a third term. Told people they’d “never need to vote again.” He fully plans on being President untill he dies.

Hell, his official website is selling Trump 2028 merch.
Yeeee-up.

Welp we’ve got farm labor, cold turkey ‘detox’, no cell phones, communal bunks type rehab camps for… everyone on either hard drugs, or any kind of medically prescribed anti depressant or anti psychotic.
Thats still on the bingo card from RFK, to my knowledge, that hasn’t happened yet.
We’ve also got concentration camps guarded by I guess Blackwater (whatever they’re calling themselves now) for all homeless people, a few miles outside of major cities, and of course a 0 tolerance policy for existing in a major city while homeless.
That hasn’t happened yet, but Trump has outlined that idea a couple of times.
… that one will be super-fun as the economy crashes.

… Sadly, the first thing that comes to mind, upon reading your comment…
First, we take Manhattan… then we take Berlin.
… I am hopeful that I can make it either to, or at least nearer to Canada, into a blue state, within the next year…
I am fully expecting shit to get very bad, very fast now.
… At least I am white… as sickening as that is for me to say… it does make me less of a target.
…
Spent the better part of two decades telling my friends and family that what is happening now … is the trajectory we are on, and we must enact change now, while we still can, to avert this path.
… I don’t talk to any of them any more, as they all thought I was insane…
They didn’t believe ‘it could happen here.’
And now, it has.
And most of them would either entirely deny that it ‘has happened’, as they are neck deep in QAnon/MAGA insanity…
…or they would tell me that simultaneously they don’t remember me explaining how and why this could happen, how it became more and more likely as the years went by… and also, at the same time, just remember me being hysterical, about something, vaguely, for no reason they can remember.
