Pay special attention to this ad at the very end. Besides showing a bunch of old white people saying things that, according to popular thought, only rich conservatives would say, the end features a graphic showing President Trump being pounded in the head as "Knock the Vote" plays on the screen. Now, I don't mind comedy. And I certainly do not mind showing a politician being bopped or doing the bopping. That is part of the history of political cartooning. We've seen it before.
What I do mind, though, is the group Acronym believing that any Millenial anywhere is going to pay attention to old white people in the first place. Millenials have been trained to tune out old white people — even when they use words like "fuck". I mean, look how much they are going to Robert de Niro's movies these days and he said "Fuck Trump"...on air...several times. But did Millenials pay attention?
They did not because they don't see old white people. So how could an ad full of old white people scare Millenials into voting? Wasted effort.
So, I believe that Acronym is pulling a fast one on whoever paid for these ads. I believe Acronym is actually owned and run by conservative types who have taken the money of liberal types by convincing the liberal types that this will work.
The plan is brilliant! Talk about being a double agent, Acronym. Kudos.
