We’ve had a thread or two wondering just what this group was about and what they were up to. I cannot find those threads. But this article did catch my eye. [‘He Gets Us’ Super Bowl Ads for Jesus Flagged by Fans Criticizing Company Funding Them](https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/gets-us-super-bowl-ads-002911728.html) Their funding comes from some sources that are . . . questionable at best and violently homophobic at worst. ---

The most recent was the last episode of Quantum Leap. As far as I can tell, their purposes, to the extent that they can be said to have any, is to spread the word of Jesus. And…that’s it. (They use the “activist” hashtag, for whatever that’s worth.) No trying to get people to church, no grubbing for cash, it’s all very low-key and…black and white. At first I figured that thi… ---

Also related > [@AOC says Superbowl ad is "fascist"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/aoc-says-superbowl-ad-is-fascist/979747): > > (there are dozens of cites for this, pick your own) “Something tells me Jesus would not spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign,” Ocasio-Cortez [tweeted on Sunday night](https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1624967013817884674). Okay, she doesn;t like the ad. Fine. She thinks they shouldnt be spending money on advertising, but advertising often pays back many fold. However, a valid point. But “fascist”? What the hell was fascist about that ad? And worse, how was it far worse than the Nazis? This is stupid hyper… (it’s a thread talking about AOC’s reaction to the ad/group behind the ad since I don’t think the onebox makes it clear) ---
