The cringiest presidential campaign ad video you will ever see, courtesy of Ron DeSantis
Few days old so you may have already seen it but what the fuck is this lmfao
Not only on top of being homophobic/transphobic this is cringe as hell. Oh god, who is this for besides terminally online incels? I don’t see this helping sway the older demographic at all….
You nailed it. This is for the Andrew Tate stans of the internet.
They are measurably the most lonely people seeking a sense of community that is missing from their real lives. It makes them susceptible to radicalization, which is why they are so easily targeted with this kind of messaging of taking such immense pride in the depravity of inhumanness.
For being aimed at people who are so against homosexuality, this video sure is rife with artsy pictures of adonis-like oiled up from head to toe wearing a tiny shred of fabric over their bulging manhood. It's so not self-aware it feels like satire.
It's also just bizarre because who is this for? Is this how DeSantis sees himself? Or how he thinks people see him?
Maybe there's some people it works on, but I can't imagine anyone sees him pass yet another useless anti LGBT law and thinks "wow that was super tough and badass". If there are people that think like that, I sincerely hope I never meet one
Lol in response to the ad
Any person who supports DeSantis already looks like an absolute idiot. LGBT or otherwise
If the shoe fits...
It literally looks like a shady and scammy ad. I dont know how anyone can be sheepish enough to not see through it. But here we are lol.
Worth noting also that Achilles (Brad Pitt’s character) is thought to have been gay (or at least in a couple of homosexual relationships). Obviously not 100% certain of this, but at the very least it’s how he’s viewed through a modern lens. So it’s weird that someone specifically went after this specific clip rather than any other ancient fighter in a movie? 300, Gladiator, I mean there were options.
All I know is this ad is going to live rent free in my head for a while.
WTF did I just watch? Is this ad meant for The Golden One?
Is this trying to use Christian Bale in American Psycho as an example of DeSantis's maniness? American Psycho is literally a satire
I never thought any republican ad would make me like trump even a little bit.
I don't go to Twitter. Is there a pic of the tweet?
It's a video. You can view it from kbin itself by clicking on the icon I've marked in this image
Edit: Works on mobile as well
Thanks!
I can't describe it in words, that video is more than a level above dick sucking. How come the people that voice their opinion against homosexual people the most, lick balls the hardest??
I just hope thats not an actual ad, I can't imagine making such an ad without feeling an overwhelming level of cringe 🤮
I lost it at the peaky blinders clip
The spliced body builder near the end reminded me of a tamer version of the Fight Club spliced frame.
Ron DeSantis is a fascist.
Cool stuff
Ron DeSantis is a fascist.
In case you weren't aware:

Hey grandpa I think you accidentally logged on to kbin instead of truth social this morning.
So you have fascist Republicans on the far right
And somewhat fascist democrats who are right of center
Guess as a leftist I'm good then. Seems to me like we have a right wing problem. But even then, only one of the parties is pushing for genocide
DeSantis IS a fascist though. That’s not loosely throwing around the term.
Bro Barack Obama didn't try to ban books and make gay people illegal.
How about you address the topic? Do you think gay people should be illegal?
I understand the desire to educate, but this post just reeks of whataboutism. Which by the way is a popular method of normalizing horrible behavior favored by authoritarians and proto-facists.
Did you try to “both sides” the fact that Desantis is a fascist?
Stick to the topic at hand or keep your whataboutism to yourself. Everyone can see right through that crap.
I like your username.
Oh yes, because when I think facts and understanding, I think about painting as many political factions as I can with the same broad strokes.
That's what nuance looks like, right?
Right?
Really top notch analysis.
