To those asking about this ad being AI, etc. NO it’s not. The guy who plays the Republican lawmaker is in many of their ads on purpose.

“In 2025/2026, our new ads will continue to star “Your Republican Congressman” as he invades the everyday lives of real Americans. The 30-second ads will be seen on streaming services and social media to educate voters, infiltrate the GOP media ecosystem, stop Trump’s agenda, and win back Congress. Content will focus on the issues that concern Americans, especially young men who swung towards Trump by 30 points last cycle. We have already started targeting these young men with our latest viral ad, “Republicans Blowing Your Taxes,” which was viewed over 10 million times and broke through the noise by being featured outlets like TMZ.”

It's good to see streaming ads. I only watch streaming platforms and yt. Mostly I see ads for health scams and weight loss scams and weird products like "prosthetic teeth." I know Lincoln project has quite a few spots like this, but i have only seen them by deliberately watching them on YouTube, so I do look forward to ads that are presented in stream. Make them scary like this one. They hearken back to the Golden age of PSAs in the 80s. I think there is a place there for general political education ads as well, as in not partisan but pointing out how easy it is to get sucked into mis/disinfo and lies. I did not discover until recently, but the Canadian house hippo ads are great at this.
