The Democrats have purchased a great deal of airtime here in Arizona. In addition to the constant stream of snail mail from Joe Biden and my Instagram feed, TBG's chosen medium, broadcast television, is a non-stop political diatribe.
Between MSNBC and all sports known to man, there's a lot of television advertising in my house. I've seen it all.
Beginning with the early college football games (10am Arizona time) and peaking during the UofA game, we were reminded that Kari Lake thinks abortion is murder.
We watched Kamala's border speech. Pieces of it appeared in an ad the next day. Her ads feature the bumbling and rambling word salad and absurd promises to protect women (where are Ivanka and Melania these days?), the love affair with Putin, the weakness and vanity and vulnerability and basic unfitness for any position of responsibility let alone the Presidency.
According to his side, their country is going to hell in a handbasket, and if they have to lie to get you riled up then so be it. They are peddling alternative facts, thankfully less frequently than the Democrats have been looking ahead.*
So when Big Cuter mentioned seeing the Republicans' overtly racist and homophobic attack ad, we knew exactly what he meant. We acknowledged the drag queen smear and the stupidity of the rest of that nonsense.
He said he'd seen the Kamala ad during that game, too. When we asked Which Kamala ad? there was a pause, and then a small chuckle from our son in deep blue northern California.
Oh, right, you're living in a battleground state.
Yup, It doesn't really matter. I'm sure we've seen whichever one he meant.
Fortunately for us, we live in a blue state, but between what ads we do have and the news reports, it is certainly enough. Trump has recently outdone himself, and that's saying a lot!
ReplyDeleteHe and Vance just get worse and worse..... terrifying....

It appears that all the advertising here in central California is for the local representation. Both sides are trying hard to hold on to the seats they currently have.
ReplyDeleteOur Senate race is disgusting.... not a single fact or plan on either side. I've seen some ads for the State House, but very few.

Have you seen any clips of the Dumpster Fire in the last few days, he is getting more deranged and threatening by the minute. Non-stop word salad, nasty misogynist attacks on Ms Harris, complete raging nonsense. He is disintegrating before our eyes and the MS media keeps right on sanewashing it. We cut the cable TV cord 5 months ago and haven't looked back so we're not seeing the ads. Plenty of info available from other sources without NW TV. All out television now is internet.
ReplyDeleteTBG's in charge of tv; on my own, I"d rarely turn it on.
DeleteTomorrow's post addresses the first part of your comment.

I'll look forward to it. And regarding internet TV, Britbox on Amazon Prime is our current main source, the acting and plot material is far superior to the US, & no commercials!
