The ad is a 15 second clip of AI-generated James Talarico singing a "trans kids" rendition of “Favorite Things."

I think Spencer Pratt's campaign set the template. Yeah, Pratt couldn't overcome the rigged system in California, but Texas ain't California.

I think being cutesy / silly actually detracts from how crazy and dangerous the things Talarico says and believes are.

It isn't as fun to make these kinds of ads, but they should just play the clips of Talarico saying there are 6 sexes without any alteration - no music, no commentary - just him speaking with his name on the screen so they know it is him. Another one of his other sayings such as his desire to "get over his whiteness", and other bizarre things, unaltered, uncut, no music, etc. Then you can run traditional ads highlighting that his church distributes pornographic materials, etc. But being cutesy / silly just entertains the partisan faithful already against him.

Yes Pratt did set a new and different campaign, are you listening RINOs? Uniparty? Would love for Pratt to move out of that hellhole and start a new life in another state.

Have you seen the ad before making this judgment?

Don’t know whether he saw the ad; but its use of AI will cause needless suspicion that a real clip would not.

We need to CONNECT the weirdness of the left to their socialism.

For example, they don’t simply want to be free to choose their hormones and surgeries, they want (a) the taxpayer to pay for it, (b) the public schools to promote it, and (c) to argue that God’s providential design of the world is arbitrary.

“””I think Spencer Pratt’s campaign set the template.”””


My identical thoughts. The Pratt meme team has moved to Texas.

After Texas they will go to Maine for some great memes of Platner.

Before Iran derailed Republican election plans, Trump and the Republicans were putting together a great midterm elections strategy. They raised a fortune and were putting the gerrymandering plan in place. Now the money is going to come into play in this and other races. Iran and its consequences (like gas price inflation) is going to be a huge problem - we can’t deny that - but Trump and the GOP put other key advantages in place that are going to be very helpful. And money is one of them. The Dems still are floundering around.

It's useful for framing the candidate (like George the Elder being shown a barcode reader that could read torn bar codes and pretending that bar codes were new to him, Dan Quayle with "Potatoe" (reading the card the teachers gave to him), and tall President Ford bumping his head on the aircraft doorway).
