This, this is the Mercer Effect.
It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet.

Minneapolis Proved Something MAGA Can’t Accept: Most People Are Actually Virtuous
There's a line buried in Adam Serwer's recent Atlantic piece on the Minneapolis resistance to ICE that deserves to be pulled out, examined, and posted on every lamppost in America: The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. Read that again. It explains so much. Serwer continues:

I love my city. Giant protest today. There’s more traffic downtown today then there is for a football game. State fair levels. -10 be damned.
