'Army For Trump' ads incite armed militias to intimidate voters in 'election security operation', also Don Jr. doesn't look so good

President Donald Trump's son stars in this new "defend your ballot" ad, and says: "We need every able-bodied man and woman to join Army for Trump's election security operation…we need you to help us watch them."

Holy shit.

I mean, what else does one even say about these insane nwq Trump-Pence ads, and the curiously addled Don Jr., who resembles a crackhead in the throes of addiction? What else does one say, but holy shit. Long past time for Twitter and Facebook, where these ads are trending, to take action — the ads are lying, and they're inciting armed violence against Americans.

Via Vera Bergengruen, this is the full text of Donald Trump Jr.'s ad rallying supporters to join "Army for Trump's election security operation," shared by the Trump campaign on Facebook and Twitter.

These Trump Jr posts (on FB & Twitter) clearly argue that the election will be stolen & are clear calls for confrontation/intimidation at the polls & a rejection of mail in ballots. Just incredibly dangerous stuff. Do we really think these small labels are gonna do anything? pic.twitter.com/Ku0zvYhZTM

these little info boxes and labels designed to "counter" misinformation on Facebook/YouTube/Twitter are obviously designed to be unobtrusive in the UI… and that's a big problem! https://t.co/OMZ0eUD4JS

These posts, by a president's son, should rank among the most worrisome threats to American democracy in our history. Calling for an "army" to prevent the election from being stolen?!? This should be disowned by the GOP—but we know it won't be. https://t.co/9dCqOc2eXB
