This year, the nonprofit group Vote Common Good released a fresh pro-Kamala industrial with Julia Roberts, and it’s getting attention, but not for the reasons you might think.  ,

The 30-second ad features a middle-aged couple ( wearing extremely patriotic hats ) at their polling place. When the partner finishes voting, he looks at his partner and says,” Your turn, fruit”. She anxiously enters the election hall, hovers her pencil over Trump’s brand on the vote, and then turns her head to a person who is voting across her. They exchange hugs and the woman moves her pencil to mark Kamala’s name otherwise, while Julia Roberts rants about how the voting booth is the only area where you can do anything and no one will ever hear.  ,
After she votes, the woman walks up to her goober of a father, and he asks,” Did you make the right choice”?  ,
Today, more comfortable than before, she replies,” Sure did, honey”, and markets a knowing grin with the other person.  ,
Julia Roberts reminds us that what we do in the ballot booth stays in the election hall, according to the message of the YouTube video’s message. You can do the proper thing in the one area where people still have the right to choose.  ,
Democrats have n’t been shy to approach men during this election cycle, such as when President Obama said black people were sexist if they did n’t vote for Kamala or when someone decided it was a good idea to dress up Tim Walz like a lumberjack and have him pretend to hunt and work on a car. Then there was that entire cringe “real men” advertising debacle.  ,

But then, they’re talking down to people, too, telling us to “do the correct thing”. Actually? The party supposedly of women’s rights is n’t encouraging women to think for themselves? Rather, it motivates them to divorce their wives and follow their orders from the anti-Trump rulings. That’s the thing about liberals — they do n’t like it when people have independent thoughts.  ,  ,
Personally, I’ve always been married, but I’ve dated people on all sides of the political hall in my life. I’ve never felt like I could n’t vote the way I wanted, and I sure as heck never had to hide it. This campaign implies that there are hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people out there cowering at the elections because they’re worried their Trump-loving spouses are looking over their arms. Unfortunately, the majority of the people I know who are voting for Trump are those who have independent thoughts and may look in their men ‘ eyes at the same time when they are told what to do.  ,
But when it comes to using washed-up Hollywood starlets for patronizing advertising, Vote Common Good is identical chance. Earlier now, they released another one, this moment narrated by George Clooney. Three men are going to vote, all dressed up as woodcutters. ” Come make America great again”, one of them says, but before his pals you vote for Trump, one looks at a portrait of his very different home on his mobile, while the other’s little woman screams,” Daddy”! across the room. While doing so, George Clooney is reminding these flannel-clad good ol’ kids to keep the impact on their loved ones in head as if they are not doing that when they cast a ballot for Trump.  ,  ,

Naturally, Vote Common Good exists for a reason because it is very patronizing in itself, but nothing about this really surprise you. The opening lines on its” about me” page state:  ,
Despite the character or plan positions of the candidate, some Evangelical and Catholic voters have been taught that they must support Democratic candidates in order to be honest. A significant portion of these citizens have seen the Republican party disregard a devotion to the common good as they support political and social movements with roots in” America First,” misguided policies, and divisionary ideologies.
It goes on to say that its goal is to encourage these citizens to keep the Republican Party. In other words, Vote Common Good does n’t believe Christians can think for themselves either.  ,
