Anti-Trump Youtube Ads?

For the last several days when I watch my favorite gun videos on Youtube I get politically bombed with introductory anti-trump ads paid for by a dem-pac founded by John Podesta identified as Center for American Progress Action Fund.

Any of you guys have a similar experience?

So, now my curiosity is up. I assume advertisers are allowed "targeted" (love the gun metaphors) ads at particular groups but I wonder why dem-pacs are wasting their money on audiences I assume will largely vote for President Trump?

Anybody know?

I've seen em for the last year and a half at least. I tried to report it as containing "offensive content" but no luck yet. :biggrinjester:

Adblock plus on my computer, nomorobo on my landline phone and iPhone set to only allow contacts to ring through. So no, not seen the ads.

If you run an Android phone, I recommend YouTube Vanced.

Also don't use ad lock or adblockplus, I belief they collect and sell your data. Use ublock origin instead.
