The 30-second spot, entitled “Republicans In Your Bathroom,” targets the GOP over its fixation on restricting trans people’s access to restrooms and locker rooms. The ad, which The Hill reports is part of a larger buy worth over $1 million per The Hill, begins with a young girl entering a bathroom and to her horror, encountering an older white-haired man sitting in the stall waiting for her. He greets her with a short hello. Immediately, the girl presses the man for answers, “What are you doing? Who are you?”

“I’m your Republican congressman. Now that we’re in charge, I’m checking to make sure that there’s no trans people in the wrong bathroom,” he says.

Her response: “Bathrooms are private. Don’t you have anything better to do?”

“I won the last election, and this is my priority,” he says, “Now let’s make sure you’re really a girl,” ending with an ominous smirk.

      Those people are already so far gone that they’re not worth trying to sway. As long as the ad makes independents grossed out by the Redpublicans its done its job

        The independents and the unmotivated non-voters.

        There are as many non-voters as there were people who intentionally voted for Trump’s shitshow.

        Yeah, the old idea that the Dems have to attract MAGA to their side is stupid, because MAGA is stupid. Nobody needs them on their side. Just focus on the Independents, they can read, have critical thinking skills (that’s why they’re independent), and they decide EVERY election. Independents are the target.
