I paid very little attention to the ad and I just tried googling it. I was wrong, it was Patriots Against Learning. The only mention I find of it is the ad with Cawthorn and Shirley. The ad is for an actual event and does not appear to be satire. Maybe it is something new that these reich-wing influencers are floating.

(7,681 posts)The fact that they don't wonder why he has to lie is the problem. He knows perfectly well that the people registered to vote live in the residential suites of the building. He specifically went out looking for a UPS store in a residential storefront so he could make this dishonest case. He kept the camera tight to the UPS store to make his dishonest case.
It's much worse than if he was merely stupid.

He also doesn't understand the difference between a "windmill" and a "wind turbine", AND he believes that they cause cancer somehow....

Of course, he thinks something can be reduced by more than 100%--which I wish he would be.
He also bizarrely thinks that a battery powered boat might sink because it is heavy--an interesting misunderstanding of engineering and buoyancy; I guess aircraft carriers are pure magic in his "brain"--and when it does it will apparently only electrocute humans that get in the water and not the shark that is 10 yards away just waiting to eat them.

Yeah, Nick is nowhere near the bottom of the MAGA barrel.

I just saw that a republican rep from MN is taking him to the SOTU tomorrow.
