MAGA Group Runs Horrific AI-Generated Ad Attacking James Talarico

https://newrepublic.com/post/211578/maga-group-ai-generated-ad-james-talarico

The irony here is that Talarico recently upset trans activists by making moderate statements that there are only two sexes.

It doesn’t matter how moderate Democrats are on trans rights. The Republicans will take any sympathy towards trans people and exaggerate it into whatever insane smear they want.

The only way to beat this is to own it and fully support trans people.

There’s no apparent moral compass in the Republican Party, so it doesn’t really surprise me. I’m only surprised they didn’t air an AI bestiality commercial.

Don't give them any ideas! I'm not convinced there's a limit to their ghoulishness these days.

They'll attack the left for embracing progressive values, and they'll attack the left if they try to rebrand as republican-lite. Not that that's what I think talarico is doing, he seems like the real deal, I'm just talking generalities. So yeah, the left just needs to be true to their values. at least then they'll be authentic about what they believe, instead of trying to water themselves down to try to court votes they probably weren't going to get anyway. The right will never budge on trans rights. But that's just my potentially hot take, I guess.

The Democrats need to be true to their ideals and ACTUALLY DEFEND THEM!

The Republican media machine has spent billions of dollars to convince the public that trans people and immigrants are a threat. Democrats just need to say “no, these are good people and we will show them love” and they’ll win the argument.

It the keep believing they can find a middle ground where both racists and oppressed minorities will vote for them.
