Here's mine:
White letters on a black screen:
"We, the undersigned....
Colin Powell appears on screen and speaks the rest of the line:
"believe that Donald Trump is unfit to serve as commander-in-Chief"
Follow Trump with other high ranking ex-military each speaking a line from the letter about why trump is dangerous.

HE'S LYING TO YOU. HE'S LYING TO YOU ALL. He thinks you're stupid and you don't think. I know otherwise and here is what Donald Trump is not telling you: [ /b]

I've noticed her many times when watching documentaries. It's from well known and frequently shown Nuremberg rally footage. I'm willing to bet that you could find a woman with a similar look on her face in a Trump crowd. Flash back and forth between the two mesmerized women to emphasize that it's the same thing happening in two different era's. Maybe the only audio being the cheering of the crowds.

(41,984 posts)Even the old "Oh, he's just plain spoken. He doesn't mean the stuff I don't want to hear" argument has to break down sometime. If nothing else this whole thing has put a real focus on how people can split off parts of their consciousness and pretend their hero will swoop in and validate their desires even as he gives every indication that he gives not a single fuck about them.

(13,598 posts)I don't understand Trump's appeal, and therefore I find it hard to accurately assess what would and wouldn't undermine it.
Partly, of course, it depends on your goal - boosting anti-Trump turnout, suppressing Trump turnout, or reaching waverers who, while decreasingly few in number, are still far from extinct, and are effectively worth twice as much per capita.
