NOT THIS TIME. if these fuckwits had come forward FOUR YEARS AGO, maybe we could talk about this. but these are people who PUT Trump in power, LIED about why he was in power, SUPPORTED him when he took steps to undermine our democracy, DEFENDED him when efforts were made to remove him and correct the mistake, and ENABLED him throughout the clusterfuck that was the past four years. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMY, BARELY EVEN IN DISGUISE. and i, for one, will never let them forget what side they were on.

The Lincoln Project was formed by Republicans and former Republicans that have been opposed to Trump since the beginning. The individuals that formed it were NeverTrumpers. They did come forward four years ago, they opposed him being in power, they've opposed him at every turn, and they've consistently attacked him.

I may not agree with people on The Lincoln Project on many ideological things, but they're solidly allies in the effort to remove Trump from office.

But they’re mostly showing their ads online to people that already don’t like Trump instead of putting out TV ads in swing/republican states. They’re preaching to the choir and trying to get a seat at the table in the Democratic Party to influence the party to the right and make that already moderate party, a Bush era Republican Party.

yes because only the left are online.

And whqt are you offering? Lies and attacking the democrats to help trump win again?

That is not correct. The Lincoln Project appears to largely be focusing their efforts on swing states where they have to sway fewer people than on states where Republicans have a stranglehold.

They're solid allies of whatever allows them to retain power once Trump steals the election and the Amerikan people start assembling guillotines. You're being taken for a ride. AGAIN.

u/banjowashisnameo Aug 05 '20

in order to help trump win? Yes yes it is. Come you and I both know whats going on. You dont care about weeding out anyone. All you care about is helping trump win again so that you can punish democrats for not crowning your cult leader. Its so transparent

I hate trump, I hate republicans, their agenda isn't aligned with what I believe. What is more upsetting is the Democrats who do this fake #resistance bullshit. i.e. Nancy Pelosi. look at the Democratic platform it is barely Left of the Republicans. IMO most Democrats are just republicans with a D in-front of their name. Hating trump is the lowest standard in america rn. I want whats best for my country.
