So maybe use footage of that? I mean seriously, just use footage of a riot that happened in the Obama era. It’s not like there aren’t any to choose from. Freaking amateur hour over there.
If what his target audience for this wants is fewer riots, he’s telling them that the protests and riots that are happening right now, under his administration, will somehow get worse under Biden. Given that there is more civil unrest (due to a wide variety of issues, not just the occupant of the White House) now than at any time in the past couple decades, it’s a super weak argument at best and actually more likely to be counterproductive. This ad will fire up his core base, but alienate the people who gritted their teeth and voted for him last time. With a close election coming up against a far less offensive opponent, he can’t afford to alienate anyone.
