As you may or may not know, media outlets are claiming a new NRA Ad by Dana Loesch is a call to violence against Liberals, Progressives, Leftist Activists - basically group(s) with many identities whom she refers to "they", "them", or "resistance against Trump."
To determine if these accusations are true let's review the statements Dana makes in the ad:
"They use their media to assassinate real news."
"They use their schools to teach children their president is another Hitler."
"They use their movie stars, and singers... and award shows to repeat their narrative over and over again."
"And then they use their ex president [Obama] to endorse the resistance all to make them march, make them protest, make them scream racism, and sexism, and xenophobia, and homophobia, to smash windows, burn cars, shut down interstates, bully and terrorize the law-abiding UNTIL THE ONLY OPTION LEFT IS FOR THE POLICE TO DO THEIR JOBS AND STOP THE MADNESS."
"And when that happens [police involved] they'll use that as an excuse for their outrage."
"The only way we stop this... IS TO FIGHT THIS VIOLENCE OF LIES WITH A CLENCHED FIST OF TRUTH."
Donna mentions Police are the only option for the screams, window smashing, bullying, and terrorizing of innocents by "them". Well, regardless of how effective the Police are in your area that is justifiable for them to act on what Donna is referring to.
Donna's call to action is to use Truth to fight a violence of lies, not violence as understood clearly in the transcript that police should be dealing with the madness on the streets.
So there you go, is it really worth freaking out about this NRA sponsored Ad?

"a clenched fist of truth" by the NRA. Sounds like a call to violence to me.
