    Unfortunately, the target audience also wear shirts which say “I’d rather be Russian than democrat”

    They may take it as an attack against themselves.

        Nah, it’s easier for them to sit on their fatasses and do the bare minimum of movement while they tout their shitty flags and shirts about in their traitorous stances. They’re the same people that wouldn’t even sign up to be in the US Army, but will swear up and down about “IF I WAS THERE…” stories of power fantasies.

        Some do.

        (Of course his nickname is ‘texas’)

        There are many thousands of foreign volunteer fighters on either side of this.

        This guy is a special kind of dumb, though.

            No, because I don’t have a strong opinion about the war either way. I was just curious about the logical consistency of that user. I wasn’t asking about you, but so far I’ve learned that you are quick to upset and like to jump to conclusions.

                There you are proving me correct by being quick to upset and jumping to conclusions again. By the way, how do you know putin’s sexual preferences?

                    You’re not even the user I asked my initial question to, but you took it upon yourself to make a bunch of meaningless responses without a single thought given to why I asked the question that I did. You’d think this community would want more people fighting for democracy and freedom on the Ukrainian frontlines, but instead they get mad at any perceived slight and swarm the upvotes and downvotes to show their supposed commitment to the cause. Talk about low-effort bots!

                    Anyway, make sure to smash that downvote button to show how not-a-bot you are.

      But if you can reframe Ukraine as sticking it to those democrats who don’t like military, they might be on board.

      The target audience are independents and the few sane (but denialist) Republicans left. I think the ad’s goal is to drive them away from the republican party.

      It’s also a social media only ad.

        The current leader of the Republican party called the invasion “genius” and “savvy”. But there’s always such a divide between a party and its constituents, don’t you find?
