I mean, if your first thought at this is that they must be Trump voters... I'd say if anything they probably aren't voters at all - you know, the people we're trying to get.
But hey, keep giving the double fingers up to fellow Americans.

(33,639 posts)my first thought was the kid will be eaten by the bear and how they delighted in destroying Government property. The Trump voter thing was a natural progression of that.
The Trump thing is a joke. You know, we are on a political forum. What would you like to talk about?

(16,132 posts)the message is kind of muddled at best.
It is definitely aimed squarely at those who would vote for that Orange Thing.

(6,283 posts),.... they are actors, paid to play a role in a poorly written commercial for Firestone satirically depicting how much fun off-roading can be. You know absolutely nothing about who these people are as far as their private lives go. I have seen a lot worse commercials with a left-leaning message portrayed by actors, who may very well be Trump voters, but like these people in the Firestone commercials, they probably don't care about the message the commercial is attempting to convey. It's a job they're getting paid to do. There are plenty of self-described trump voters to target without the need for speculation. Just saying.

(33,639 posts)about the actors thmselves, and not what the ad was depicting?
You know, I am aware Bruse Willis did not actually save a building from terrorist.

(6,283 posts)But, as stated in my previous post the commercial is a parody of how much fun can be had by off-roading. Believe it or not there are some liberals who love to do just that. I'm in off-roader along with my son and my grandson, or I used to be before I got a little too on the worn side of life. The only difference was that we did it on two wheels instead of four, and I remained, as always, a Democrat. My main point is that the commercial was a parody and not meant to be taken seriously, although it was a poorly written commercial I will admit. I'll be glad when the treehugger stereotype given to liberals finally goes away.

(33,639 posts)it was the crashing through a National Parks sign I thought was asinine.
And of course the son taking a pic of the bear through an open window, well chomp, chomp.
I get they were trying to be cute, with the hot chick in the Monster truck and all.
It just looked to me like assholes.

(6,283 posts)It was a poorly written parody of off-roading and how much fun it could be. It failed miserably. I just never related it to any sort of politics as there is a plethora of actual trumpian ignorance and stupidity on display as better examples than an over-the-top commercial parody.
"It just looked to me like assholes."
In my lifetime I've actually met more than a few Democrats who fit that description.

(94,792 posts)Theyre heterosexual, so they must be anti gay.
Theyre all White, so they must be racist.
Theyre driving a car so they must be anti public Transportation.
Just as much a stretch...
