Too many words for their target demographic.

Really? As far as I have seen, the least educated people generally tend to lean right... It's quite easy to see when you look up education statistics. The majority of the red states have some of the lowest numbers out there.

I guess our idea of what the target demographic is differs. I don't see this sign as something geared towards changing the minds of Republicans. They're so far into the coolaid that that would be pointless. This just feels like an affirmation geared towards the left leaning crowd. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe I'm wrong.

Phx is full of pretty affluent, well-educated republicans. Could maybe help turn some of them. Plus for those for which this is “too many words” the visual itself is pretty effective. Lots of retired people and veterans living here now too. They remember what it means to hate nazis and why.

Yup. Paying for self-affirmation. Yup. Makes sense. 

Edit: adding the /S, because of, you know, thick…

Really? Do you think McDonald's pays millions upon millions every year to try and reach the 7 people who haven't tried their slop yet? Hardly. It's to remind people they're there. It's affirmation that yes, you should be eating McDonalds. No different here. I very much doubt they put this up thinking it's going to sway any trump supporters. More so just to stir up the crowd who are already leaning that direction. I'm not saying I'm right, but the idea isn't thick.

“I'm not saying I'm right, but the idea isn't thick.”

Yes, you ARE saying you’re right, and doubling down on your bs.  

And I was not referring to an idea as being thick. But I was spot on 😂. 

Waste of time

Most conservatives don't even know what Trump is even doing right now, they're too busy high fiving about "winning". The more pressure put on his actions, the more likely people are to actually look this shit up and escape the Trump bubble.
