Politics: The Lincoln Project

With me wanting to do a quick election based post, but not on an election, I figured that I might as well cover one of the strangest and most hopeful parts of the 2020 election for president that did not stop fighting there. It is strange because it is a group of Republicans that did not want to have Trump as president anymore. Maybe they sat out the primary due to how it was already rigged in favor against Trump. But they did not want the insurrectionist to stay in office anymore and they got their wish. 

They were known for doing a lot of ads and I might as well share some of them here. I will get more into their potential problems in this post as well since it is worth covering all of it. Sorry about the links being red as they were in a Word Pad document and I don’t know if clicking on the link would work for you. I do not remember what this one was about, but did feel that it was worth sharing at one point.

Another one that they covered was on 9/11 and how insensitive Trump was in relation to that. He bragged on the news that he now had the tallest building in New York City now. What kind of fucking asshole does that? You talk about coming in first only because the winner died, but do not care much else about other things going on in the world. This was a mass casualty event and you were talking about how you benefited from it?

Another ad that they did was on the main choice of the election at hand. They became known for asking the question: America or Trump? Trump is not America and you wouldn’t know it from how his supporters feel about him. This ad is called The Choice.

Here’s one that they did called Our Fight. While I can’t remember much about these ads from when I saved them, then you should know that they are still relevant in my mind or at least what I want to cover still today.

The next one that they did was called Focus Group. It was great to see their take on a whole lot of the issues of today which is why they are still at it even though the insurrectionist is now out of office. His powers could cause issues still and not just for his base.

Now Trump likes to think of himself as a smart person. In the ad, I’m Smart, it shows just how dumb he actually is. Can you think of that many really truly smart things Trump has actually said or done over time?

Of course, now that Trump is out of office, they still have to get rid of the poodles that were after him as well. When Ted Cruz flew out of the country and abandoned his state during a crisis only to break coronavirus protocols to return, a funny ad was made about it. Here it is, an ad called Mexican vacation that is only about 2 minutes long.

Now that we’ve gotten through some of the good things about The Lincoln Project, it is time to get to the bad ones. There have been people as part of the group that left after scandals that they had came to light. One could wonder if this could ruin The Lincoln Project. One could also wonder if this is just a way of people trying to cancel it. The way that I see it, a few bad apples don’t spoil the whole bunch so let’s hope that the issue is solved now and it was, just that, a few bad apples. Otherwise, it would be better if this project faded out gracefully. 

There’s not much else to say about this topic or any others. Note that you will be seeing a whole lot of this blog this month and then I’ll have to scale back when you see it. I do want to cover some of what you haven’t already seen that I feel that you need to. And there are two groups that I want to cover in detail. One would be from before the election and the other in relation to the vote that took place on the day of the storming of the capital. Let’s hope that I can do all of that and I will tell you when this blog will go back to just one day of the month again.
