The days of going high when they go low are over.
At least it is for the Progress Action Fund PAC—if their latest ad is any indication.
According to their website:
"Progress Action Fund runs hard-hitting ads to defeat Republicans in swing districts, including the viral and critically acclaimed ad 'Keep Republicans Out Of Your Bedroom'."
"When Republicans go low, we go lower, because in politics you have to put your opponent on defense & shape the narrative. As President Lyndon Johnson said, 'while you’re saving your face, you’re losing your ass'."
Reportedly designed to speak to 18-29 year old males, other demographics might find their latest ad a bit crude. In it, a pair of working men go to the supply closet at work and get an eyeful.
You can see the ad here:
The ad opens with the two workers complaining about high taxes. When they open the supply closet door they see their Republican Congressmember on his knees in front of a moaning man in a suit.
The GOP Congressman turns to look at the workers and says:
"I’m fundraising for reelection and servicing my sugar daddy and lowering his taxes."
One of the workers replies:
"You said you were going to lower our taxes, man."
To which the member of Congress responds:
"Sorry. You didn’t give me any money."
The ad ends with the Republican politician returning to his job.
People appreciated the ad's blunt approach.
This graphic new ad aims to convince young men that Republican lawmakers are literally blowing their tax dollars on wealthy donors. I wonder if they realise that #tariffs are taxes too? www.thedailybeast.com/shocking-new...

They don't like it because it's true and shows how horrible they are. They deserve to be embarrassed and called out.

This is absolutely the most accurate representation of republican political behavior I’ve ever seen.

The Progress Action Fund PAC demonstrates a willingness to fight fire with fire, insult with insult, on the part of progressives.
For fans of the ad, the attitude adjustment is welcome and long overdue.
