His base is also childish and uneducated, and this sort of drivel filled with macho man imagery, memes, 4chan posts, and tiktok music appeals to children.

The world would be better if he gave up politics and just devoted himself to shitposting. The ad was unironically hilarious, just not for the reasons they probably expected.

The last time a right-wing bigot devoted himself to shitposting, he bought Twitter. I don't think we need a repeat of that debacle.

Let's give him 4chan. If Meatball Ron can make 4chan more racist than it already is, I'd be genuinely impressed.
