    brain washing half the country with your sick violent rhetoric.”

    Greene in 2021 appeared in a campaign video holding a 50-caliber rifle and promising to “blow away the Democrats’ socialist agenda.” She then fired the rifle at a Toyota Prius with a “socialism” sign on its side. Footage showed the vehicle exploding with the words, “Target destroyed” displayed on screen. The video promoted a giveaway of the rifle “for Americans only.”

    When was the last time a Democrat appeared in a political ad with a firearm? More of the right’s projection and gaslighting.

    I don’t see political ads - do the ones Biden’s running say things like “Trump must be stopped at all costs?” I just worry that the dems will take the bait and turn down their messaging while the right keep the flames burning.

      I’ve also never seen a Democrat ad like this. It’s pretty clearly what they want people to do, while they’re too chicken shit to say it out loud.
