You aren't alone. And it's jarring to see the way Kunce has been advertising. But many Missourians brains are so loaded with lead and cultish indoctrination. It may be the only way to reach enough people to oust an obvious dipshit like Hawley. They really need to update the state motto and prepend the words "you can't" to it.
Hawley is a terrible, heartless dunce of a human. Anything that ousts him is a win.
As an aside (since I don’t watch TV these days and don’t really get ads), what about Kunce’s adverts are jarring?
I don't either. But I did catch it somewhere. If I hadn't known who kunce was, I would think he was a Republican from the ad. It's rather repellant on reaction. I think it's strategic. But may have gone too far and hurt him just as much. His ads from previous years were much better IMHO. But this is him trying to court the lead poisoning crowd.
The commercial hides nearly all plain indicators of party affiliation. Even the YouTube channel apart from a single actblue link. I hope it works. Fucking sad if it does. But he IS better than Hawley.
Interesting. The only one I have seen is the one where Kunce depicts Hawley running away from things.
Yeah that one was okay. Everyone enjoys a good laugh at Hawley's expense. Adopting the language of bigots and racists in an attempt to court their votes even in a heavily racist and bigoted to State like Missouri is still troubling.
Agreed. Certainly a strange approach.
