The Lincoln Project goes up in smoke!

Well those neo-con blokes at The Lincoln Project really went off the rails this week. For those who haven't heard of the so-called Lincoln Project, be grateful. Very grateful. These are a group of so-called "Republicans" who have decided to head the "Republicans against Trump" coalition for 2020. Their main goal is to persuade enough GOP voters to either become so fed up with Trump that they don't vote or to tilt to vote for Biden or third party. The folks over at The Lincoln Project clearly want Biden to win 2020. But they are engaging in very odd and deceitful tactics to do so, and this week, they really hit rock-bottom. Their Twitter feed is more revolting than the President's that they want to eject from the White House!

Not even corn pop ran this many bad dudes.
Not even corn pop ran this many bad dudes!
For starters, these dudes are bad dudes. They're lying scumbags and news media is now starting to do their home work to figure this out. Only one of the founders of the so-called Lincoln Project is actually still a registered Republican to begin with. Secondly, they appear to have no grasp on independent voters and their target audience seems to only be Republicans. I highly doubt the amount of Republicans they are persuading is as big as it would appear. I'm an independent, what have I to do with Bush and McCain and Romney? These are the kind of Republicans they've supported in the past. A war criminal that brought us into Iraq and Afghanistan, a treasonous neo-con who wanted every single nation that wasn't the U.S. bombed to smitherines, and a Wall Street corporate hologram. They must surely know the Democrat grassroots won't want anything to do with them after the "revolution" is completed, right?

But they really went off the deep end this week. Starting with such glorious tweets as the following.
 
But their ultimate self-inflicted wound this week came when they ran their ad against GOP Senator Susan Collins. When their mission is to go after the "most right wing" of the GOP congressman and they're wasting money going after the left-wing Susan Collins, a pro-abortion socialist in favor of expanding big government healthcare, you know we've got some hacks on our hands. It should have been telling when their Twitter feed was taken over by a college graduate with a degree women and gender studies but now the cat's out of the bag!

The advertisement was not just an awful waste of money to spend on a neo-con left-wing GOP senator, it also portrayed an horrible ignorance of history of the twentieth century. Something only a millenial college graduate with a degree in women and gender studies could do any way, certainly not a bunch of neo-cons still trying to masquerade as Republicans when they've already abandoned that party long ago. Though their ad against Susan Collins proves that they're not actually for any Republican reform any more by now. But then they go out and accuse Susan Collins of McCarthyism?!? What exactly is McCarthyism? McCarthyism is a paranoid delusional syndrome named after Senator Joseph McCarthy who accused his political opponents of being spies and agents of...Russia. What is McCarthyism? It's a delusional syndrome where one accuses one's political opponents of being...foreign agents, specifically of...Russia. Sound familiar? Who are the real McCarthyists? Oh, yeah, that would be The Lincoln Project.

The irony is that Susan Collins is not accused of McCarthyism for flat-out defending the innocence of Trump in regards to "collusion with Russia" which we know by now never happened to begin with, she is accused of McCarthyism for maintaining our rule of law in that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The ad is a whole lot of bunk, a garbage piece of delusional paranoia, and frankly just a conspiratorial lie. And yet the new American Left has decided that conspiracy theories are the new "norm" and questioning conspiracy theories means they can now re-define the game. But McCarthyism is in the history books and its meaning is well-established. People who know history not only will know that it's a lie and a damned lie to accuse Susan Collins of such, but also, congratulations, The Lincoln Project just wasted money going after a liberal GOP politician that no one is worried about maintaining the seat of any way. Except maybe Susan Collins.

To add insult to injury, there was also a Tweet on Thursday from The Lincoln Project demanding Trump resign. Oh, I thought they cared about getting him out of office democratically. Maybe they realize their organization is being exposed as the joke it is. Or maybe they realize that Trump is going to be re-elected.
