    what even is the point of this billboard? it would only serve to further entrench trumpists within their foxholes of delusion and wouldn’t do anything to sway those who won’t vote for him anyway.

    it’s not like the US has a horde of fence-sitters who haven’t yet decided where to cast their ballot.

      I generally agree.

      That being said… All of the analysis, all of the sound arguments… They’ve already been made 1000 times.

      This is different in the sense that it provides no explanation. Face. Word.

      It’s not anti republican. It doesn’t induce shame in a reader simply for identifying as Republican.

      There might be a subset of disillusioned republicans for whom this actually is actually a persuasive approach.

      Edit: And I actually applaud whatever nerd realized that all the nerd talk has been had and was brave enough to try something else.

        Frankly, yes. It’s refreshing to see “he’s a fascist” people actually taking their own argument seriously for once.

      In any constituency there are undecided voters who don’t know who they’ll vote for until election day. Since the US is a two party system I suppose they are a huge factor in the end result even though there might not be too many of them.
