An exhibit for Interdisciplinary Advanced Writing classes?

This ad for Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Dr. Chris Jones has been blowing up Twitter (is that how the young people say it?).


I'm thinking about using it in my Interdisciplinary Advanced Writing course because of its interdisciplinary connections (how he combines faith and science in his discussion of time, for instance, and how he brings in his multiple degrees in physics, nuclear engineering, and urban planning). Also because of how his personal history is combined with the history of the United States. I don't have time to tease out all of the fascinating connections he's bringing into this ad right now, but there are a lot of them! Maybe my readers can point some out in the comments?
