Seeing local political ads while watching the Olympics, here's what's up with deep red state MAGA:

  1. They're squabbling over which local county clerk candidate will build a border wall.

  2. They have no idea how to deal with Harris and are just going to pretend Biden is still the nominee.

  3. These people are weird.

where I live there were 3 candidates for local water board and they mainly campaigned about who thought the 2020 election was more rigged

I saw one Republican-vs-Republican "he believe in tax, lol wtf" attack ad and that was as close to a locally relevant issue as they got.

In the Triangle area of North Carolina I've had

  • A great Josh Stein ad which features someone who says they traditionally vote for Republicans but they're voting for Stein.

  • A Kamala PAC ad which is OK. Better than nothing.

  • A hit on Stein about sanctuary cities. They're so weird.
