I didn't watch the video, but I agree.

Republicans and Trump aren't really on the same page.

How a leading anti-Trump group ignored a crisis in its ranks

WASHINGTON (AP) — Last June, the Lincoln Project was on a high. Led by several prominent former Republican consultants, its slickly produced ads attacking President Donald Trump made it perhaps the best known of the so-called Never Trump organizations.

Trump style grift for liberals.

Frankly, I couldn't care less about internal issues within the organization. The only thing that matters to me about LP is its output to the public. If you care about what is going on within that organization, you're taking your eye off the ball. Right now, the left needs any help it can get to counter the fascist movement which has taken over most of the political right.

Inefficient use of resources, dumping good money into dark money organizations.

AOC was right when she called it as such:

May be inefficient, but has produced a high volume of mainly quite effective ads. The way I see it is this: we're lucky to get any help at all from anyone on the political right these days. Which is why I am uninterested in process and solely focused on results. So long as they haven't broken any laws, I don't care about their process.

Criticizing republicans who speak out against Trump is often done by people on the left, but it's counter-productive. We can wait until democracy is no longer at imminent risk of collapse, then criticize them. They'll be plenty of time to fight over their process, and their policy stances, later.

AOCs link above was discussing just how ineffective they were.


Yes, they make us feel good. But it is not about feeling good. It is about winning.


Insulting Trump content on NYC billboards is not going to achieve that.



These ads are not targeted at republicans or changing peoples minds. They are targeted at angry democrats to solicit money by making them feel good.
See the Lincoln projects own commentary about their complete lack of transparency:
“The Lincoln Project will be delighted to open its books for audit immediately after the Trump campaign and all affiliated super PACs do so, explaining the cash flow of the nearly $700 million that flowed through their organizations controlled by Brad Parscale and Jared Kushner.”
Yes, they literally compared their organization to the Trump organization. Which we know is corrupt to the core. The Lincoln project is just Trump for democrats.

Tell me, when is the last time Trump convinced you of anything? If the insulting approach does not work on you, why would it work on republicans?

You are the fascist movement. :)

You don't care about integrity as long as it accomplishes your goals. Break some knee caps while you're at it. Oh wait, you have Antifa for that.

The hardcore Antifa people are super chill. They went to Syria, fought against ISIS with the SDF, and are downright pacifist.

sure, there are always hot heads, but they are just a fringe thing. The whole Fox News Antifa super soldier thing is a massive mischaracterization. Although they do have nice things to say about the 120mm mortars the CIA gave them to fight ISIS.

I am trying to send him over the deep edge with another conspiracy theory ;).

He is likely going to discover a seed of truth in what I just said. Then spend the next three months trying to arm up with 120mm mortars just so he can counter battle hardened CIA armed Antifa assault regiments, only to then be arrested by the ATF for his efforts.

It will be poetic.

ps: The ATF are Antifa!

I think there was the notion of it occurring on a Friday night football game night, making his cruising the parking lot more pathetic.

Ed Bundy (Married with children) style…high school proves to be high point of life’s accomplishments.
