Republicans typically respond to fear, hatred, and loathing more than Democrats do, so their commercials generally are based on fear and what might happen if their white guy isn't elected. Democrats tend to focus on the positives their candidates could achieve, but that is like dead air space to Republicans. It doesn't even register when there is something to fear or hate.

@WalksWith Trump's only plan is to be president and enrich himself.

Well, they're speaking to different audiences. Democrats tend to be aspirational. Republicans peddle in fear. Which is why the Lincoln Project adds targeting Trump are so effective. They swim in those waters and understand what resonates.

These are the best of the rightoids though - untethered by needing to appease the rubes or the masses. Conservative intelligentsia was always something - until the GOP decided brains and principles were no longer needed.

@QuixoticSoul I looked in to the organization behind it. They don't have the power hitters that the Lincoln Project does but they seem to be more focused on the "everyman." I think the push coming from Conservatives might actually move the dial. It's hard for some to wake up when all they hear from friends and family is "Us vs. Them." These groups are letting them know there's something bigger at play.

They post up videos of Republican voters explaining why they can't vote Trump 2020 in good conscience too, the Biden campaign should be promoting this everywhere because it's effective
