You might even say that in Trump's ad, he's the one who represents chaos and violence."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing."

In this context, though, we're talking about political ads on Facebook. They almost universally are not about exploring the specifics of political agreement. Instead, they're almost universally geared towards tribal reinforcement from the in-group. This is equally true of both Democrat / liberal & Republican / conservative FB ads.
An ad from "Evangelicals For Trump" which looks for opinions about Trump from Catholics - instead of from Evangelicals - is so obviously fake news that I honestly can't believe I have to explain why...
