Is anyone else experiencing these "Fine Print Republican's" with their campaign ads?

Here in South Florida, we have two Republican candidates running for the Florida House of Representatives. They are Mike Caruso and Dana Trabulsy.

Both are running campaign commercials non stop, that make them look progressive, with no mention or banner stating that they are Republican’s. Of course, there is absolutely no mention of trump either.

The only thing that gives them away as being Republican’s, is the smaller legal print that flashes at the end of their ads.

Nah, they just want the votes. Even Dump has "black friends" so he CAN'T be racist, right? TigressDem Sep 2020 #5
Trabulsy even has a blue background on her campaign signs? dubyadiprecession Sep 2020 #6
Those ads need to be pulled or modified - TRUTH in advertising laws? TigressDem Sep 2020 #3

They want to blur the lines, so hopefully no one really notices what party they are affiliated with.
They can run, but they can’t hide!

It's all about the "appearance" of having moral standing. Who else they going to steal moral standing from other than the DEMs?

Even slave owners back in the day whipped the slaves "out back" and pretended how "happy" blacks were on plantations where owners supposedly "cared about their needs."

Which I wouldn’t usually see on signs for Republican’s running in my area.

Very small printing of "Republican" or just an elephant outline, in local or state races. Not anything like the big "REPUBLICAN!" style, prior to trump taking the party into the toilet.
