They can just play clips of him admitting out loud he will be a vengeful autocrat.
- That is about what they did. It's a decent ad. The scary voiceover really works.
  
  Simple repetitive scare tactics are what has reliably won elections for Republicans.
Because he is?
Also, if you didn’t catch the one the Lincoln Project put out, give it a watch. Horrifying, and entirely plausible if Trump wins.
- "You're under arrest for evading motherhood."
  
  As I understand it, some of the right-wingers are aiming to charge women and girls like her with attempted murder, or murder if they have an abortion. So it could become a capital offense in many states. All part of the men-owning-women program of the right wing.
  
  The current GOP and their voters really doesn't like that the death penalty is off the table for most things. Drug dealers, LGBT people, illegal immigrants, I've even heard people whining that you can't execute SHOPLIFTERS.
  
  But if we're honest, the real crime is "daring to aspire to be more than a cheap, husband-adjacent taxpayer factory".
  
  Babe, wake up, the new mandated pregnancy laws just dropped
  
  D:
Always nice to see an honest political ad.
So literally just unedited, recorded footage of trump?
YouTube link to the ad for those that would skip the article
- Thank you, the website was taking forever
The Trump campaign is running its own more modest ad buy, including advertising in Trump’s home turf of West Palm Beach, raising eyebrows about how solidly red or MAGA Florida is.

That's probably Trump. The Lincoln Project and some others specifically run ads in places he's likely to be, hoping to get under his skin (and maybe reach some of the voters). He's probably been bitterly complaining about it and the campaign is running local ads to appease him.

I really hope they blanket Fox, et al, the night before the debate, really get under his skin there.

  This is exactly what the Lincoln Project thinks is happening, iirc they called the ad buys the campaign buying him a "safety blanket" to protect from the "mean" ads.
