It’s not a secret that the “Republicans” at The Lincoln Project have spent the past 5 years making bank on their dubious claims to be former Republicans who have reluctantly been drawn into fighting Donald Trump to save democracy.
In 2020, they raised almost $90 million, spending the lion’s share on consulting fees paid to the founders of the organization. Democrats were happy to shower the organization with money because they are incredibly good at one thing: being total jerks with no compunction about lying and striking far below the belt.
A great example of the latter tendency is the video they just put out suggesting that Steve Bannon could or should get raped in prison.
Watch:
Yes, one can be strongly anti-Trump, while still retaining your core conservative principles and not following Trump into the gutter with your own knee-jerk cruelty. This is my aim.
But the Lincoln…
