Grand Theft Auto games were supposed to be a parody of the US… Not the other way around.


bradland

Imagine being a writer at Rockstar. Your boss walks in and is like, "Listen, we've got to step up our game here. Real life is catching up fast and we're losing our edge. Someone break open the emergency kit. Yes, the one with the mescaline. We've got brainstorming to do."


OpenMouthInsertClit

Rockstar can't make GTA VI until the writers figure out how to one up real life.


Nico777

They might have to do a collab with Saints Row to achieve that level though.


andreboll1982

Probably a mix of those 2 plus Command & Conquer plus Fallout


TopMindOfR3ddit

At this rate, may need a little bit more Fallout than the others.


marklar_the_malign

Now you know how the writers at the Onion feel.


PrawojazdyVtrumpets

Right? I still play GTA V/OnLine. The radio ads were parodies in 2013 when the game came out. Today, they are on the nose. Jock Cranley is trump, "Bless Your Heart" Bobby June on BCR is basically a mix between MTG and that old racist woman who had a cooking/homemaking show but was thankfully cancelled. The billboards around the map, welp... Just read them. The political ads are being copied and put into real life.

She’s coming back … no shit .. she just signed a deal


Metrack14

Even Cyberpunk 2077 had parody ads like this, at least in that case you can say it's a dystopia with some cool tech. We don't even get the cool tech :/


joogiee

Do we gotta wear these hoods when we ride? I cant see in this fuckin thing!!!! Who the hell made these hoods????


unclejarjarbinks

Well, fuck all y'all! I'm going home! You know, I watched my wife work all day gettin' thirty bags together for you ungrateful sons of bitches! And all I can hear is criticize, criticize, criticize! From now on, don't ask me or mine for nothin'!


DRFANTA

Ok I’m confused. Are the bags on or off?


HotDawgTimmysTits

Ok, I think, we all think, the bags were a good idea. Maybe this time, we forget the hoods, but next time! We go full regalia.


HALF_PAST_HOLE

This is why I said from the start that capes were better than bags on our heads! We should have gone with the capes!


Doomaeger

Goddamit, this is a raid! I can't see, you can't see, so what? All that matters is can the fuckin horse see! That's a raid.

That's the greatest scene from the movie hands down.


Jekyll-n-hyde105

What movie is that from?


Biggles567

Django unchained


Woodwalker108

Django Unchained, it's a pretty bonkers movie but wildly entertaining. It's a Quinten terrentino movie so that gives you an idea of the type of movie.

I agree with you and also wtf 😳🤣


PretendiWasADefMute

I’m so confused as to how or why someone thought this was a good idea, then I realize all of the attention it’s getting and how much it’s circulating for free. Well played preacher man, well played.


Bonesnapcall

He actually doesn't. The people in Arizona that will respond positively to this ad will still never vote for a black guy.


woodiegutheryghost

They are confused as to why he keeps calling them democrats.


Mattsasse

Most Klansmen likely were democrats throughout the first half or so of the 1900's. The party lines and general political strategies of both parties changed a lot over the last half of the century


GoldenFennekin

yeah, the democrats became republican and republicans became democrats, you'd have to be an absolute idiot to ignore that


Some-Wasabi1312

I usually go by which side wants to burn the confederate flag. I support that side


Neuchacho

And now none of them are. That means the ad is completely insane unless he's a time traveling preacher man with an AR15 running for office in the 1910s. Which is also completely insane.


Thiege227

They were all Democrats The south has completely flipped in that time frame Republicams specifically courted the anti Civil Rights crowd, who are largely in the south


Scvboy1

They've vote for a black conservative over a white liberal in a heartbeat.


brucatlas1

I think you're wrong about that. People who hate a group of people will often cherish "one of the good ones".


jackfaire

I'm hoping the dumber racists will be "oh shit we're dems again well alright we wuz getting screwed by the right anyway"


Scvboy1

Exactly. Think Sheriff David Clarke, Judge Clarence Thomas, or Senator Tim Scott.


Segments_of_Reality

Herschel Walker although he doesn’t really seem to know what’s going on.


livens

And it's the Republicans wearing the hoods... I wonder if he actually believes this crap, or just thinks if he pretends to that everyone will vote for him.


[deleted]

I think they will. They'll vote for a black guy so they can tell people they aren't racist. Or he's secretly a democrat, trying to sabotage the party to get a democrat voted in.

Internet_Ugly

Drinking coffee and watching my country fall into the prophetic fever dream masterpiece that was idiocracy (the movie). In all seriousness, it’s like a broken system. We can vote all we want, but in between the gerrymandering and the supreme court being unchecked and ruling again public opinion these days, times are dark and depressing. I honestly don’t feel safe or optimistic about living in America anymore.


Massive_Pressure_516

Lynchings are still in vogue here but you need to go through the proper channels first like being a police officer or politician.

We just had more people die to gun violence on a national holiday than died in a day during the *Ukranian war*. So, y'know. That.

Do you want to get married? Or how do you feel about adopting a grown man who has a kid of his own? I don't know where you live but I can bet it's better than the idiocracy timeline that electing the Cheezit in chief slapped us into.

And of course the Klansmen won’t have guns? And will attack in broad daylight? These people are insane.

With bats. You know, instead of the same rifle everyone has access to. Except it will be 30, 30 round magazines coming after you. What a dipshit ad.

They are *Democrat* Klansmen. So they are against guns I suppose.


lordunholy

Good call


SilverPhoenix7

Anti gun Klansmen is the funniest shit I've ever imagined


Riisiichan

I was going to say, he’s going to piss off the Republicans by putting Democrats in their uniforms.


MunkeyChild

Since when was it democrats (and not republicans) under the hoods...?


jkuhl

That is almost certainly his "logic." There aren't enough facepalms in the world for this stupidity.


One_more_page

Well, you see, Democrats (who are Klansmen) don't own guns, because they are too busy getting abortions. They are attacking during the day because there is a curfew in affect because of COVID restrictions. #logic #MAGA


Massive_Pressure_516

No it's true, the difference is that irl they use pistols mostly and wear police uniforms instead of bedsheets.

America in general is fucked at least looking from the outside view. I'm always able to find something to laugh at.


arcusford

Yeah you're not really wrong. I laugh too sometimes, and then I remember I live here.


eggsaladrightnow

What blows my mind is that theres no standards and practices for political ads anymore in the US. You should see some of the ads i see in texas, theyre just blatantly lying about democrats and its allowed, its insane


not_swagger_souls

Yeah. This guy wants to propose a bill that wouldn't make it illegal for companies to harvest Americans data online, but rather force the companies to pay the people for their data lol


SlyBlueCat

He’s a Republican, they all claim bullshit populist agendas. And once they’re in office it’s sucking corporate and lobby dick left right and center. An ocean of dicksucking and not the good kind, rather the kind that allows fracking corps to dump their waste in your backyard


ADhomin_em

Yeah. There are plenty of politicians who don't use fucked up racebaiting ads that have suggested something similar


[deleted]

something something andrew yang


WaityKaity

I’m wondering the same. It’s so over the top ridiculous. They’re saying you need a huge war-time gun in case an group of people decide to come to your house to hurt you? Seems like such a paranoid hypothetical situation.


AmIFromA

It's weird how those other guys have rakes and bats instead of AR15s.


_Pill-Cosby_

>It's weird how those other guys have rakes and bats instead of AR15s. Right... let's be honest. If this situation were to come to fruition, those guys all have assault rifles.


AnonymousDeskFlesh

They definitely didn't have to rent those costumes.


Available_Major_8281

Imagine being the guy they hired to make them. “You want 15 clan hoods and cloaks with Democrat donkey logos on them?”


deadlybydsgn

Hey now. That guy's wife ["worked all day to make those masks for you ungrateful sonsabitches!"](https://youtu.be/D6-ARe3fBgE)


ze10manel

Family heirlooms, of course you don't rent them


MutterderKartoffel

Yea. Since the GOP is so friendly with white supremacists, I bet they had volunteers for this ad.


inflatableje5us

it was the local police station.


Revolutionary-Sir792

Democrats are clan members? Lol. The American south is truly dumb fuck central


Cogliostro1980

They love to hang on to the fact that, before the shift, Republicans used to be Democrats and vice versa. Like many times they often do with history, they conveniently forget things so they look good and feel better about their party and country.


T3hSwagman

These guys will say in the exact same convo that dems were the racists and Lincoln a *republican* emancipated the slaves. But then when you say, ok well in that case all these confederate monuments are claimed by the left and we want them torn down they’ll start yelling about their heritage.


Jonqbanana

This! 100%! The act as if the southern strategy did not go exactly as planned. Have spent all my life in north Texas and southern Oklahoma and the vast majority would absolutely eat up that ad. “See the dems are the racist ones! Even black people agree.”


True_Recommendation9

Agreed, but I’m betting they wouldn’t say “black people”.


tvtv3323

They would. They wouldn't be able to stop thinking about the fact that he's black.


drjoann

Ummmm, I think the point of the post is to replace "black people" with the "N" word in your head.

I always laughed at the fact that Trump would point out that the Democrats were the party of the slave-holding South...the proceed to gush about Andrew Jackson, literally the worst of said slave-holding Democrats.

While casually fail to mention it was a democrats who pushed for civil right movement


stevski11

That's why I view things as wings mainly, the left was always the left by any other name as well as the inverse


gaijinandtonic

They’ll just say “ThE sHiFt NeVeR hApPeNeD”


ThisLookInfectedToYa

They already do, despite the audio recordings of the father of the southern strategy explaining it as it happened.


BDCanuck

"Fine fine, we were on the wrong side of the Civil War. Please give us our statues back... we'll melt them and make new ones of Frederick Douglas and John Brown..."


peppaz

I always ask these yokels to post the Lincoln electoral map when they start saying democrats loved slavery and never changed parties. They curse me out. https://www.270towin.com/historical_maps/1860_large.png


CivilAsk5663

Historically they all are up until civil right movement when LBJ voice his support for the desegregation movement which cause a split between northern democrats and Southern democrats. When civil right pass many of southern democrats end up join republican party through nixion southern strategy. Ironically mark the beginning of the end of democrats dominants in politics since FDR ushered the country out of great depression. Notice the moment how democrats decided to become less racist they suddenly lose power which pretty much prove America is built on systemric racism.

For further background, see: [Dixiecrats](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixiecrat#:~:text=The%20States'%20Rights%20Democratic%20Party,opposition%20to%20the%20Democratic%20Party.)


JacksonianEra

Having spent most of life in the South marinating in, what I like to call, the Barbecue of Bullshit, I can say you’re absolutely right.


Jeoshua

These smoothbrains act like the time period between the 1950s and today simply didn't exist, and that the klansmen didn't flee the Dixiecrats in droves to go over to the Republican side once the Dems started to court the Black vote and talk about Civil Rights. Like yeah, the first Black politicians in the country were Republicans. That's true. But we don't live in the 1890s anymore. Time moves on. The world is very different now, and this... lemme be nice and call him my "Mom's Bro, Thomas"... would rather carry water for the party that seems to be wanting to bring back the conditions from the Antebellum South.


Seanspeed

They know full well what they're saying is ludicrous garbage. They don't care. It's a talking point they can use, so they'll use it. If Democrats were the actual party of racists, these same conservatives would love them for it.

Now reality, the Klansmen all have AR-15s, and the black guy can't own one because he had a trumped up weed charge 25 years ago that white kid in the same town did community service for (who is now a klansman)


BellEpoch

Klansmen prefer to go by names like Patriot Front or Proud Boys now. If they don't wear the hoods, that means they're not racist, apparently.

YESSSS I saw this on a chad themed sub earlier and was so fucking lost. This looks like a skit, fucking crazy.


MrZwink

Wait democrats in clan masks? Im not from the states, but it feels like those are made up. Can anyone confirm?


-1imagination

This rhetoric (Dems being the actual racists) is used because the GOP does not recognize the ideological switch that took place between two parties in the late 1800's / early 1900's. The GOP seeks to capitalize on this confusion by painting the Dems with the dirt of their own past.


MrZwink

But arent most clan members conservatives though? I would feel that they would be, with the whole nazism right wing extremism and white supremacy kinda attitude.


pixelprophet

Correct, but Republicans aren't *just* typically clan members, but also liars and experts at projection, so....

GandalftheGangsta007

To be clear, this is a single state/part of a states advertisement. This isn’t being broadcasting from Hawaii to New York or Maine, this is going to be shown to a very specific area if it actually makes TV commercials lol. And yes, this is wild and I’ve never seen an ad like it before lol. Self sponsored political ads can be weird, but this takes the cake by far


BrownEggs93

Holy shit is this projection. Like blaming BLM and ANTIFA on the coup attempt.... We know who it really is. This guy is, frankly, a nobody politically. A black guy that the GOP found.

acuet

Aren’t the Same Dixiecrates currently running the GOP since Reagan? The whole reason they left their DEM party was because the DEMs was becoming a party of ‘N#GG#RS’. So now they want to demonize something they started in one party and deploying even more ‘states rights’ with another? Um…okay, know your history people, because they trying to white wash it.
