Having had all night for my unconscious brain to consider the advert, I now know why it is so revolting.
It echoes the tropes of the Nazi anti-semitic propaganda films. Hitler would have been very pleased with that little film, wouldn’t he? Stitch together unrelated footage which is designed to induce a visceral response in the audience, link that emotion to a demographic, tell the audience that you and your party are the only people who can protect the audience from the threat (baseless feelings of which you have just cynically induced in them), and wait for them to do your dirty work for you.

There are no words strong enough. Despicable. Deplorable.
I hope no-one else ran it, either.
