Unfortunately, the target audience also wear shirts which say "I'd rather be Russian than democrat"

They may take it as an attack against themselves.

They should go sign up to fight on the Russian front lines then

Nah, it's easier for them to sit on their fatasses and do the bare minimum of movement while they tout their shitty flags and shirts about in their traitorous stances. They're the same people that wouldn't even sign up to be in the US Army, but will swear up and down about "IF I WAS THERE..." stories of power fantasies.

What TV channel is that on?

Some do.

(Of course his nickname is 'texas')

There are many thousands of foreign volunteer fighters on either side of this.

This guy is a special kind of dumb, though.

Who am I to stop him from his Darwin Award? Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Da comrade we have comprehensive sign up bonus (is one small potato and 25 ruble)

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago

But if you can reframe Ukraine as sticking it to those democrats who don't like military, they might be on board.

The target audience are independents and the few sane (but denialist) Republicans left. I think the ad's goal is to drive them away from the republican party.

It's also a social media only ad.

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It is fucking golden considering they used to say "rather be dead than red". I swear to god you can't make this shit up.

You can tell them "take your conscription"

Whatever happened to "Better dead than red"?

Liberty Prime needs to make a comeback.
