You Guys Won't Believe This Ad ... Trump Dying, Vance Dictator For Life, Musk Immortal

This Is Probably the Most Vile Election Season Ad Yet

 
We’ve seen some really bad campaign ads this election season from KamalaHQ, spots where she pretends she’s always been a border hawk, commercials featuring dude-bros lovingly staring into each other’s eyes, and even appeals for women to lie to their husbands about who they’re voting for. They’re unethical, gaslighting, devious, and just… really, really lame.
The worst yet, however, just might be this partly AI-generated video of a dystopian U.S. in the future, a future where Republicans have taken over, outlawed birth control (who exactly has advocated for that?), put millions in internment camps and installed JD Vance as dictator for life. (I thought CA Gov. Gavin Newsom banned AI videos during campaign season?)
They show Trump dying—that’s not inflammatory content? The leftist press would absolutely explode if a right-leaning outfit made a clip showing Biden expiring in his bed.
It’s from a leftist group called “Seed the Vote,”  and I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic when I say it’s disgusting on so many levels:

The inestimable Mrs. Hoge weighed in:

Can’t lie, she kinda nailed it.
I would add some things, though: 1) They didn’t need AI for that first shot of homeless people crowded around an inner-city campfire. They could have come here to downtown LA or virtually any other Democrat-run city and gotten the shot in minutes. Actually, they wouldn’t even need to go downtown—you can easily find such scenes in the suburbs as well. 2) Their version of Utopia tells us all we need to know about their values. The second scene, before the Republican “apocalypse,” features a vapid-looking woman dancing suggestively with two guys. You don’t need to be a brain surgeon to understand what they’re implying there.
“We had a beautiful life,” she intones. “The best parties. The most beautiful friends.”  
This shallow version of a quality life—complete with on-demand abortion, we can assume—reveals the utter narcissism at the core of most progressives.
They go on to portray an imbecilic version of a totalitarian regime run by Elon Musk and JD Vance. (Notice the music is almost identical to the soundtrack of Terminator 2). It’s just straight-up fear porn, nothing more; it’s not even slightly based on any real tendencies Trump, Musk or Vance have shown.

Vivian Kubrick's Thoughts On Trump Using Full Metal Jacket In His Political Ad

To those who think my father wouldn’t have wanted #Trump to use FMJ footage.


(I posted this FMJ advertisement a day or two ago but if you missed it here's your chance to see it ... you're welcome! Link below.)

Vivian Kubrick is the daughter of film director Stanley Kubrick, she wrote the film score for FULL METAL JACKET and made The Making of THE SHINING documentary.
 
Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself – however – these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience.
Because I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team – Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods.
However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature.
And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military – so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military.
Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with.
Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet.
And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing.
Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you he had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is! Which accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films, he had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few!
My father had a great respect for life – his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom!

 Nicole Shanahan Does It Again: 'Who Really Are the MAGA People?'

I have a confession: I had no idea who Nicole Shanahan was before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tapped her as his running mate in March. And upon initially learning a bit about her, I thought, "Hmm. Kind of an unusual choice, but you do you, Bobby." Once I saw and heard her speak and articulate her perspective, I found her interesting and engaging, but still, someone whose political stances were sufficiently removed from mine that I wouldn't be voting for the ticket.
But since the murmurs began, hinting that Kennedy might leave the presidential race and endorse former President Donald Trump, Shanahan has taken to the "unity" movement and embraced it with the full force of her resources and talent. I don't know exactly who Shanahan's "team" is, but they're masters when it comes to putting together these little ad vignettes she's been sharing.
When RFK Jr. announced that he was teaming up with Trump, the MAGA movement was introduced to the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement. And they've seemingly become fast friends.
In the latest installment from Shanahan and her team, we are treated to a brief "mockumentary," which takes a look at the oft-maligned "MAGA People." The two-and-a-half minute short is funny, serious, wholesome, and pointed, all at once.

We're treated to grainy footage, a pleasant little tune, and a studious British narrator, harkening back to those informational films we were treated to in elementary school. We see multiple scenes of families — of all sorts — loving one another and smiling and enjoying life while the narrator intones:

"Across the Atlantic, in the North American country of the United States, lies a fascinating and often misunderstood collective. From its Northeastern cities to its Midwestern towns to its expansive West, this courageous group of individuals are most notably known for their unwavering patriotism. Join us as we explore the fascinating world...of 'The MAGA People.'
"As we embarked on our journey, we were judicious in taking all necessary precautions — our media had warned us that these were a vicious, radical, and even deplorable people. Contrary to what we had been told, we found the MAGA people to be warm, loving, and even rather cheeky at times.
"As we spent time with the MAGA people, we learned that their mantra, 'Make America Great Again,' is an optimistic belief that the United States will once again prosper by returning to its founding principles of a government by and for the People. Under these beliefs, the MAGA people strive to protect America's Constitution, freedom of its citizens, health of its people, and a yearning to restore the American Dream that existed not so long ago."

The Democrats cringe every time their own candidate opens her mouth. Their own voters don’t even know how radical she is. The sad thing is Democratic voters have been treated like they’re stupid so long most of them don’t realize they can think for themselves.
