A Democratic ad idea

Inspired by Captain Truth's post.


Select D to go forward or select R to go backwards

This should be a Democratic
Campaign slogan.

Here is an ad idea:

Show a hand on a car shift move it to a red R show the driver looking backwards and the car moving backwards, show scenes from now like how much good America has to the past,slow down and like an old newsreel show the nazi marches from the 30's and the racist strange fruit on the trees. show women from the depression barefoot with dirty feet too many kids living in a hovel show the ugly pastas it was,no filters,show a belligerant racist screaming.

Make it viscerally repulsive as possible.

Then show the shift knob being put in drive. Show a big blue D show a visibly shaken driver turn
around forward and the car moving forward.


Whizz
past the depression ,past the children working in coal mines,move to more prosperous times slow down the images ,dem presidents superimposed with prosperity a home etc.with the speech about the new deal going in the background then show the progress and how life got better as America became more Democratic over time.

Ask
Which way do you want to go?

Go forward vote Democratic.
