The 30-second spot, entitled “Republicans In Your Bathroom,” targets the GOP over its fixation on restricting trans people’s access to restrooms and locker rooms. The ad, which The Hill reports is part of a larger buy worth over $1 million per The Hill, begins with a young girl entering a bathroom and to her horror, encountering an older white-haired man sitting in the stall waiting for her. He greets her with a short hello. Immediately, the girl presses the man for answers, “What are you doing? Who are you?”

“I’m your Republican congressman. Now that we’re in charge, I’m checking to make sure that there’s no trans people in the wrong bathroom,” he says.

Her response: “Bathrooms are private. Don’t you have anything better to do?”

“I won the last election, and this is my priority,” he says, “Now let’s make sure you’re really a girl,” ending with an ominous smirk.

      You say that to insult me, but many victims of abuse will need their “doc” to “up their dose” after seeing this ad, which is precisely my fucking point

      And not to be a prying asshole, but… this you here? This your masterpiece? “Our ages don’t determine the power dynamics of the world around us.”

      I mentioned you up there in that long post. Go join the far-right. They’ll love you. They’ll slap that shit on a poster next to your face.

      I swear to fucking god everytime I get downvoted around here it’s someone like you.

      EDIT: Also, good for you for making the effort to come to Lemmy, a place dominated by progressives, and mocking the mentally ill. Telling people to “up their meds”? Up yours. Get it?
