This is one that I find so unbelieveable that I spent some time checking for Snopes on it ... nope, apparently we are talking "reality", though it is the sort of reality that one finds (hopefully mostly) in ex coal magnate Tom Steyer's billionaire head -- and barely at all in the left wing media. USA Today was the only semi-left coverage I could find.
In Steyer's universe, this is not the Onion ... this is something that he believes that Trump-hating "progressives" will find motivating!
One of the many things that was held sacred in the old America (the great one!) was "Motherhood" ... you know, God, Country, Mom, Apple Pie ... those old stupid values. I remember the old days when we used to deride platitudes as "motherhood" ... none of those mothers found believing in smaller government, hard work, independence, God, life, liberty, the Constitution, respect for flag and parents to be "equivalent to being a drug addict".
The ad does all it can to paint male Republicans as racist, xenophobic, sexist, closed minded people doomed to live alone ... I mean after all, no woman is going to marry a guy that is pro-life! As of 2017, his chances MIGHT be limited to the 38% of women courageous enough to self identify as pro-life on a poll! Those are some brave ladies ... for a woman to self identify as pro-life in BOistan is nearly as courageous as somebody identifying as a "Nazi"!
** note, seeing someone willing to stand up for their unpopular beliefs as "courageous" does NOT mean you agree with them. I respect Muslims that stand up and say that Islam demands Sharia Law and death to infidels a lot more than those that deny that is a tenet of Islam!
While the ad is a sick example of tribal politics, I give it one strong vote -- the son came home ( humorously to get his laundry done, no liberal son has EVER done THAT!). While mom is worried about her boy, she has not said that she refuses to see him until he "gets off Republican ideas" ... unlike the estrangement that is often the case when Christian kids turn left and leave Christ.
Perhaps if the boy turned Christian she would cut off contact? I wonder if the irony of a woman who deals with her worries with a bottle vs say "prayer" registers with any of the lefty brains? While they tried to tie being Republican to being a drug addict, I thought the largest irony was how much it might have been an old discussion on homosexuallity ... her son had apparently "come out" as conservative, and it sounded like she might want him "deprogrammed".
Can Conservatives and Christians be drugged or deprogrammed to think as our liberal elite masters demand we think, or are they just going to have to go full National Socialist and exterminate us? Ads like this make you realize just how far tribal politics has already gone.
