The 30-second spot, entitled “Republicans In Your Bathroom,” targets the GOP over its fixation on restricting trans people’s access to restrooms and locker rooms. The ad, which The Hill reports is part of a larger buy worth over $1 million per The Hill, begins with a young girl entering a bathroom and to her horror, encountering an older white-haired man sitting in the stall waiting for her. He greets her with a short hello. Immediately, the girl presses the man for answers, “What are you doing? Who are you?”
“I’m your Republican congressman. Now that we’re in charge, I’m checking to make sure that there’s no trans people in the wrong bathroom,” he says.
Her response: “Bathrooms are private. Don’t you have anything better to do?”
“I won the last election, and this is my priority,” he says, “Now let’s make sure you’re really a girl,” ending with an ominous smirk.
That was astoundingly creepy, well done.
Gotta give that actor some recognition. He really nailed “Republican” with that performance.
… because it’s based in reality.
tf is actually wrong with Republicans? Obsessed with the weirdest stuff, into hurting others and suffering, it’s basically the worst possible people you could elect to run a government.
It’s not always because they believe the bible, but it is often because they believe the bible. It describes a rapey abuser who can and will torture you to death if you don’t blindly obey him, and they call that “love”. They do completely backwards, wrong, harmful things while genuinely believing they are in the right.
You know that vague “mandate” they keep talking about? Spoilers, it’s from god. That divine being which we have no actual evidence for, no reason to believe its existence, no way of contacting it to verify what it wants. It gives them a blank check to do whatever they want regardless of how many people they hurt.
It’s possible to read the entire history of western colonialism and rise of capitalism as parallel to the spread and growth of Christianity around the globe. The two have been inextricably entangled for centuries
