Man, I knew what this was going in to it, and I still thought that shit was ice cold.
Good.

I didn’t know where this was going when I first saw it. I thought, “That’s an awful lot of middle-aged white people for a Democratic ad.” I even started to debate myself as to whether “middle-aged white people only” would be a valid target for such an ad. Then it all made sense.

My brother happens to be hard-working, whip smart, and a mensch. Sent the ad to him, and told him I’d volunteer for him, should he run.

I don’t get the etymology angle. “Brutal” and “brute” are from a word meaning “relating to the lower animals”. Is this some play on “Gosar”? I’m drawing a blank here.

Possibly a nod to “Et tu Brute?” though it’s not part of the etymology of brutal.

Technically true, however it’s also considered likely the common knowledge of Brutus via Shakespeare led to a convergence of usage over recent centuries. Alt-etymology? Surely RB pythagorized it thus.

Except unlike his movies you didn’t see it coming from the very beginning!
Also unlike his movies, people are actually watching this ad.

Why does the ad only have white people in it?

Yeah, and clearly they weren’t in Arizona - they even referred to Arizonans as ‘them’ - a subtle reinforcement that the candidate isn’t from here.

We’re getting to shades of the civil war… “The Terrill brothers were … brigadier generals on opposite sides of the conflict— James Barbour Terrill within the Confederate Army (killed at the Battle of Totopotomoy Creek) and William Rufus Terrill within the Union Army (killed at the Battle of Perryville)” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_against_brother
All we need now is one of these siblings to run against him.

Yeah, the Wikipedia article is quite a read. Tried to impeach an EPA head when she enforced environmental law. Boycotted Pope Francis’ speech about climate change. Voted against access to legal cannabis for veterans. Sided with with Alex Jones about Charlottesville. But wait! There’s more!

Those were my exact words too.
Holy shit thats dark and brutal in all the right ways. His family even considers him trash. I cannot possibly see anyone electing him if they see that.
Far more unpredictable than Shyamalan twists lately.

Wow, he must be a real dick.
But his family are clearly civilised, middle class, well-off, educated, intelligent citizens.
The Repugnicon party trollies, and all those voters who somehow, perversely, think the GOP is looking out for them against the liberal elite, will surely double-down after seeing this advert - it is clearly a load of liberal lies and fake news against a fine upstanding candidate. They’ll vote for him, alright.
