It's interesting I think that, in WWII, the "banding together" factor of "Buy American!" was inspired by the fact we were at war. I'm inclined to think that this campaign is using an anti-current government message to get the same effect. Ballsy on their part.

Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

The commercial itself isn't anti-government, it's the people that it targets that are; and I'm not saying that's a problem. Heavily-patriotic advertising needs an "enemy" to work properly so as to bring the people together, whoever that may be. WWII advertising had an obvious enemy, Germany and the European Theater. The enemy here is an administration that people feel threatens the "American way of life," which this commercial tapped in to and supported.

The audio from that is from a Future Farmers of America meeting from 1978. I think you are reading way too much into the commercial.
A commercial supporting "traditional American values" is only effective when people feel they currently lack that. That's the whole point of advertising: Make people think they are lacking something they need and then show them how to get it. I don't really have a problem with what they're trying to accomplish, so...
Of course, there is also the ad that entices buyers simply by entertainment, but that's obviously not what Ram was going for: Straight-up entertainment.
