Excuse me for being late to the party. It is long over due to give due credit to Bill Kystol’s et al pet, the Lincoln Project, from Federalist:
“They’re all supposedly former Republicans, all of them hacks funded by wealthy liberals. They didn’t move a single vote away from Donald Trump,” said Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night of the Lincoln Project team. “Trump garnered 63 million votes in 2016, and already close to 68 million despite enduring years of attack — so 68 million votes in 2020. Yet the media slavishly elevated these hateful people from the Lincoln Project.”
Maybe it was their melodramatic ads that turned off voters. Or maybe it was their shameless elitism and disdain for Trump-voting Republicans — Remember Wilson calling Trump supporters “the credulous boomer rube demo”? — that wrecked their messaging. They certainly didn’t fail for lack of funding.
The Lincoln Project, founded by former Republicans but funded mostly by Democrats, raked in upwards of $60 million since its inception just under a year ago, with the super PAC spending $28 million on the presidential race alone and pouring millions more into congressional races. It became one of the top-spending outside
groups in the 2020 election, after coming under fire for funneling its dollars into firms owned by its own members.
What the Lincoln Boys have done is tribute the market economy. The offered a product, took money, diverted it to their personal portfolios and delivered no product. In other words they created their own private version of Congress, but used ‘rat donor money rather than that of the tax payer.
The Lincoln Project contributed to the public welfare by help to lighten the ‘rat’s purse and provide Patriotic American worthy targets for sport
