I for the life of me dont understand why I always see trump and conservative advertising on this site (obviously before I login).....doesnt seem like a smart investment, are they paying DU to run these adds? Or maybe I dont understand how advertising works?

My question is why would conservatives waste money advertising on a liberal site?

I Google on Trump all the time because I dont want to be ignorant of the evil this guy is committing. Also I enjoy the replies to his Twitter posts. I assume thats why I see the ads.
For a couple weeks, all I saw were ads for face masks, because I had bought some online.
