Fuck this guy, but I’m down to get rid of official attack ads in general.
Of course I despise advertisements of all varieties, but political attack ads are a special type of unwelcome assault on our collective mental health.
this isn’t the usual ‘attack’ ad though… which is why the magat is so riled-up. it’s based on facts, including verifiable and indisputable public records kinds of facts, that he can’t make up some bullshit to counter.
I also hate attack ads, but probably mostly because they are all sensationalized and half truths. If someone brings receipts, I don’t care as much, but I absolutely hate all political ads, positive or negative. I can’t wait until after the midterms are done.
