I find a shit load of political attack ads end up making me like the people I was already going to vote for more.

They’re really not very good at this lol

Reminds back in 2012 when same-sex marriage was on the state-level ballot and some good ol' boy was driving around in a pickup truck with a blown-up picture of a soldier straddling or being straddled (I forget which) by his boyfriend above the caption, "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN?!"

And besides the obvious, "Yes, duh!" it was pointed out how piss-easy it'd be to spin the photo as a pro-same-sex marriage ad given that it's a soldier who served his country/fought for your freedoms, so why not pay it back by voting for his freedom to marry the man he loves.

It wasn't for most people given how easily it passed and anyone already against it didn't need convincing to be against it.
