First off, Republicans hate these people. Partisan Republican electors really hate these people. Martin Sheen? Hotlips Houlihan? A whole bunch of other allegedly famous people no Republican recognizes? Rest assured, they're laughing their asses off at this weepy, sentimental faux-patriotic attempt to ride the coattails of a hit Broadway play that none of them will ever see.

The ad itself is maudlin, condescending, unintentionally resembles a SNL skit, and underscores the very reason Trump won in the first place. Middle America does not like to be preached to by wealthy showbiz activists.

Hollywood liberals, please, I beg of you. Stop it. You're not helping.

But it might as well have been Donald Trump.

Who UFA is isn't exactly clear but their website is registered out of Ontario, Canada.

I agree 100% with this message but, this is not normal time these are the times of the oligarchic fascist plutocrats. Their goal is total control of finances and nothing, I mean nothing, will get in their way. They will pay MILLIONS in bribes knowing they will make BILLIONS. The time for reason has ended there is no Democracy left there are only rich, poor & dwindling middle class. The middle class is being squeezed so the rich can put the middle classes money into the rich oligarchic bank,cayman island, offshore,swiss accounts...
