I’m not in a swing state but I’m right on the border with one so I get a lot of their commercials. I saw one the other day that literally said word for word “are you tired of illegal immigrants stealing your healthcare?”

Like what the fuck does that even mean? How could someone steal another person’s healthcare? Like picking up their prescription from the pharmacy?

yup, seen that one. they hired veterans to make it look like their benefits are being given away to give to undocumented people. just laying on the hate

There's only so much healthcare to go around. Once all the illegals use it there will be none left for the rest of us :(

If only there was an influx of new people that we could support and educate to work in healthcare. Idk where we would find such a group though.

Ah ok. I had walked away right before it came on so I just heard it from the other room. I didn’t see the part with the veterans. I figured it was just them stringing together a bunch of trigger words.

It doesn’t mean anything, but the people it’s targeting are too brainwashed to realize because it includes all of the keywords that trigger their rage
