1. Comparaciones con campañas antidrogas pasadas.
Los comentarios comparan la iniciativa de Trump con las campañas "Just Say No" de Nancy Reagan y "This is your brain on drugs" de los años 80 y 90, señalando que estas estrategias ya demostraron ser ineficaces y que el enfoque actual es una repetición anticuada y simplista de un problema complejo.
- I'm getting deja vu of the days of reagan and the war on drugs. Trump administration sponsored fentanyl commercial aired about how powerful the addiction is.
- Ahh! the old “just say no” campaign revisited. “we are going to advertise how bad drugs are for you,” trump said.
- Saw trumps ridiculous fentanyl ad. It was like the fried egg 'brain on drugs' commercials from reagan years. Except it is just dumber. No fun metaphor.
- Nancy trump wants you to just say no to fentanyl. I applaud the message, but if it did not work for nancy reagan, why would it work for donald trump. I believe this will be another trump failure.
2. Críticas sobre el desconocimiento de la crisis.
Muchos usuarios critican la campaña por ignorar una realidad clave de la crisis: la mayoría de las víctimas de sobredosis no buscan consumir fentanilo intencionadamente, sino que lo ingieren sin saberlo al estar mezclado con otras drogas. Esto hace que un mensaje de "no consumir fentanilo" sea irrelevante para gran parte del problema.
- I don't think most people who die from fentanyl were trying to take fentanyl.
- I can picture a young gqp activist trying to explain to him that people rarely take fentanyl on purpose, that it is often mixed in or disguised as other illegal drugs & trump just saying these ads will make everyone say no to drugs.
- Fentanyl addiction is much more complicated. Today, the majority of fentanyl-related deaths are from illicitly manufactured fentanyl that is mixed in with street-drugs or made to look like oxycodone.
- Trump starting a national ad campaign to tell people that fentanyl is bad, thinking it will stop the drug epidemic, is hilarious. Like, does he think addicts use it as a vitamin or something?
3. Burlas sobre el contenido de los anuncios.
Los anuncios son descritos como ridículos, exagerados y con información falsa. Las críticas se centran en la representación de los efectos del fentanilo (piel azul, dientes podridos), el uso de actores con mal maquillaje para simular ser adictos y la difusión de mitos, como la marihuana mezclada con fentanilo, lo que genera burlas y desconfianza.
- These new anti-fentanyl commercials the republicans are running are driving me insane. Fentanyl use does not make you pick your skin, make your teeth fall out, and it doesn't make you skin turn blue. Why lie?
- Jesus fucking christ the trump administration has ads on that say you’re gonna die if you smoke weed because it’s laced with fentanyl.
- The white house is promoting "make america fentanyl free," a new ad campaign featuring little information but a lot of zombie makeup.
- I keep seeing these insane trump anti-fentanyl ads where some actor who's terrible even by advert standards is like "i took a fent and my skin turned blue and my teeth fell out and i fucking died now i'm a ghost oo i can't graduate from college now".
4. Escepticismo sobre las motivaciones y la efectividad.
Existe un fuerte escepticismo sobre las verdaderas intenciones de la campaña. Se percibe como una táctica política para aparentar acción, un posible desvío de fondos públicos hacia agencias de publicidad afines, o una plataforma para promover la imagen de Trump y culpar a grupos específicos, en lugar de una solución real y basada en la ciencia.
- An ad campaign telling people not to use fentanyl def won't work. It's a relatively cheap and easy way for trump to show everyone he's doing something.
- I just saw an anti-fentanyl ad that ended with “join president trump’s fight against fentanyl”. Just another way he plasters his own name on everything in the country.
- Maybe donald trump's goal is to transfer taxpayer money to advertisers for a nefarious purpose - not to tell people they are likely to die if they take fentanyl.
- Trump's upcoming ad blitz re fentanyl will not center on how bad the drug is but how horrible the brown people are for supplying it. It's laying the groundwork for some heinous plans ahead.
