I can kind of follow the logic in Loeffler’s ad. Its premises are:

  • Biden is a liberal globalist who will bow down to China’s threat for corporate profit
  • Trump is bravely standing up to globalists like Biden
  • Loeffler is even more hardcore than Trump. How Hardcore? As Hardcore as Attila, who was in literal war with China (the Attila in the ad mumbles something about going to war with China)
  • So don’t vote for that other weaksauce Republican candidate, vote for Loeffler.
  • The killing of the scribe may be a gag element to make it more rememberable (in addition to the fact that it features Attila), or maybe it’s trying to do a parallel with newspaper reporters, or maybe it’s a symbol for Loeffler’s Republlican opponent – “getting rid of your own if they are not hardcore enough” – something like that

The funny thing here is, naturally, that Attila never got even close to China. Attila’s sphere of influence was Central Asia and Eastern Europe, thousands of miles from then-China. Genghis Khan (and his children and generals) did. Does Attila have more name recognition than Genghis Khan among southern whites? That’s somewhat interesting.
