I'm not American, but I was watching a sports stream yesterday and it was a US based stream. There was a pro-Trump political ad that was going on about "transgender surgeries for illegal aliens" and all sorts of unhinged shit. Then it said something along the lines of "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you". Just some serious racist & transphobic nonsense.
I wasn't aware that such vitriolic ads were so common on mainstream US TV. It's fucking grotesque. Regulators would never allow that sort of stuff where I live, and rightfully so.
Yes, transphobic ads are being blasted in a lot of places in the U.S. right now, and it seems to be upsetting some people. Despite most people not being motivated by transphobia, I think the Republican party has correctly identified that transphobia in the context of sports is a wedge issue that will stir up dissent between centrist Dems and progressives.
another ad that ends with this that runs relentlessly in my state (the joys of purple states), is about how under Kamala as DA, trans inmates were given trans healthcare.
All the ads are so vile, and its all hate against various minorities.
Edit: Side thought since i never post, companies who choose to take their hate money and run their propaganda should be held accountable for stochastic terrorism, but of course so should public figures.
Stirring up hate and getting people hate crimed and shit, there should be heavy penalties.
