Except it’s true.

Ok.. You were its intended audience, this shit isn't going to change anybody's mind

You have no clue what The Lincoln Project is if you think we're the intended audience.

Yeah, this ad is designed to solicit donations from liberals. Like, obviously. There are zero "moderate" Republicans who do not jerk off to antifa militants being chokeslammed by beefy stormtroopers. That's... what it means to be a Republican.

If they actually wanted to reach Republicans they'd just talk about Jeffrey Epstein and Trump non stop.

Told you Ashersmack doesn’t give a rat’s ass sbout the rights of protestors.

At this point, if your response to people protesting America going to hell is "ORANGE MAN BAD, thats wut kwazy libz say LULZ!!11" then it's time to either pull your head out of your ass or, I dunno, fuck off to whatever hole you crawled out of.

If the Feds went around seizing assault weapons from white people because of a ban you'd be shrieking and shrieking. So I hope there is a ban in the near future. When the shoe is on the other foot I will have a belly laugh as it comes down on you and your entire fucking family, you festering pig. :)

Do you guys... not remember the Bush administration?

Guantanamo bay? Extraordinary rendition? "Enhanced interrogation"? Secret military tribunals? The literal establishment of the unaccountable police state DHS agencies currently being used to kidnap American citizens, and have been disappearing undocumented people into concentration camps since like 2003? Anything?

Do you not get that the Neocon media doucebags who worked for Bush, the guy who built the police state currently in the streets after 9/11, are not in fact opposed to it, and are just cynically trying to pander to goldfish-memory liberals to get money and power?

It doesn't seem like a difficult point to understand.

But cool with the hysterical personal attacks and wishing state violence on my family, I guess. That's neat.

I have a friend who was a Navy Corpsman at GitMo. It left her 80% disabled with migraines and PTSD. We did horrible shit to human beings there, and they did horrible shit to the service personnel working there.

The Lincoln Project are people who helped start the 21st century American slide to fascism, and them making an ad title "this is where it starts" is disgusting. People not seeing it for the con it obviously is is baffling.

I remember 2003 because I attended protests against the war and the legalization of torture. As far as I'm concerned, Bush Jr. stole an election, conned the public into an imperialist invasion, tanked the economy, and remains an unconvicted war criminal.

But why would any of that make me sympathetic to Donald Trump, who is just the latest turd floating down the same historical river? Get a grip, dude.

...and your response, at every turn, at a trump administration who has zero problems perpetuating and intensifying said injustice, is to trot out the same dumddick talking points from edgelord city and give the current administration a pass. It'd be a lot more convincing if you showed the slightest bit of concern about the absolute shitbirds orbiting this administration, but, hey, DEM MAN BAD, right

teethsalad making the 2020 shitlib version of a classic rightwing argument "why don't you activists ever talk about black on black crime?"

I see the ‘Don’t Vote’ brigade is extra desperate lately

What the fuck are you talking about, teethsalad? I criticize Trump all the time. Look at my submitted videos for fuck sake.

"Vote for Biden I guess, but prepare for him to do the same exact shit he's done for his entire career" is not exactly a difficult position to grasp. It's like you are literally unable to see anything in the world except in terms of it being TRUMP or ANTITRUMP. This is, ironically, something you have in common with Donald.

Trump sucks, but the Dems did nothing for 8 years.

Obama is called the "deporter in chief" for good reason.

More Latinxs were booted from the US under Barry than under Chimpy Mcflightsuit. It sickens me to see the democrats embracing a brain dead old coot who'd have us balls deep in Iran & Venezuelan given half a chance.

Not coming back to dems until the rightward drift ends.

You sure are cool for not boting dude! 😎

This is what you RepubliKKKan hypocrites do to cover up the fact that you guys don't really give a shit about liberty. You fucks were crying about how Obama was taking your freedoms and leading you to a police state, yet here comes Trump doing actual police state shit to leftists, and suddenly you just dismiss them as terrorists who deserve to be locked up. Just like the Nazis with their enemies.

Remember all those leftwing bombings and shootings recently? Man, sure were a lot of those. All the leftwing bombings. Crazy.

Portland actually does have a white supremacist gang problem. I'm all for rounding them up as well if they're planning any terror attacks.

Unlike you, I actually trust the DHS has good reason to do what it's doing and you ninnies are going to be the first to moan about how the government loves white supremacy if they don't stop those idiots from blowing shit up.

Maybe you should just let them do their job. So shit doesn't get blown up.

The Dem solution to this is "let us fully transform into the Bush-era Republican Party" so you should be happy about it if you're a conservative.

You two actually hold that opinion. That's terrifying.

It's just a bunch of participation trophies.

I guess I missed the announcement when the contest started for making the most wearisome statement.

I actually agree that it's worth remembering that the Lincoln Project are indeed of the "usual" neocon brand, and they're shitheads at heart who just want to forge an exit ramp for the Gitmo-flavored GOP while Trump splashes kerosene all over their platform. Totally worth remembering that.

But the DNC can't wrap its head (or its heart, I dunno) around attack ads like these sociopaths can. And the USA is larping the "It Can't Happen Here" RPG pretty hard right now. So it's "enemy of my enemy" for now, because if there's any possible disillusionment of the MAGA chuds, it's worth a shot. (I'm hoping to see them build an ad around the Navy vet who got wailed on in Portland a couple of nights ago.)

If I thought a civil war had a possible outcome that was worth the bloodshed, ie a new Constitution that included my personal wish-list of improvements, then maybe it would be worth the perfectionism required to not get behind every single thing that is working to unseat Trump. But I don't think that--not in this climate of toxic propaganda.

That's reasonable, exy.

I just don't think they bring anything to the table. Republicans overwhelmingly support Trump. There just aren't many never Trump Republicans, and they only really have influence among liberal media; republicans don't read George Will and Jennifer Rubin. I have yet to see a Republican associate even be aware of the Lincoln Project.

Most of their money is coming from Democratic donors. And a lot of it is going into the pockets of the execs. It could be better spent.

I'm all for political alliances, but the LP is a scam to get money from democrats, won't actually have any effect on the election, and will be an excuse to shift a Biden administration to the right.

Good for them for going after Trump, I guess, but seeing liberals fall all over themselves to praise them and give them money is gross.

150,000 Americans are dead from the Trump virus, and in Asher’s mind the REAL problem is some advertisers have gross employees.
