If you want to change hearts and minds, get naked?
A Democrat-supporting group did just that. Supposedly, their bare photo shoot is meant to encourage people to vote against Republicans. It’s still not clear what getting naked has to do with voting.
The campaign is called ‘Grab Them By The Ballot’, and is meant to be a jab at comments candidate Trump made that were published by Access Hollywood.
On their Facebook page, the group posted the following:
“Not knee-jerk responses,” which is why they took off their clothes?
Anyway, The Daily Mail has more:

Get naked. Insist that means you’re “being seen” because apparently, you can only be seen if you’re naked and motivating people to vote with your birthday suit. Down with Kavanaugh and Trump! Something about #MeToo, but don’t objectify them, even though they’re naked. On purpose. Makes total sense.
Neo-feminism is a helluva drug.
