During the last election, one candidate (not for prez) targeted me with so many ads that I got really annoyed. I voted against him just because of his ads (mostly mindless or just personal attacks against his opponent). If I was searching for something and watched a youtube video about it (e.g., some product), his ads would pop up continuously. We had a choice between two Democrats with similar policies.

If they do not have much PII on you, they will assume you are not a GOP voter.

GOP voters give out PII like candy on halloween.

This demonstrates that one is a member of the cult.

They live in the false belief that they have nothing to hide.

But for sure it's not facebook doing that right? I mean ALL my friends (coincidentally all on facebook) say that's just a lie.

It's probably just other people getting tricked. Not me. No no, not me.
