The latest from the Lincoln Project - once again confirming how odious he is, splendidly



A lot of people are saying they’re regretting voting for trump... I can see why.


He is fucking hideous.

Historians will debate for centuries how on earth the Trump era came about. It will like the end of Handmaids Tale (the book not the series) where there is a symposium centuries later trying to figure out the mysteries of Gilead. On the bright side, every Trump voter in 2016 who has seen the light should be considered like every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings. The bell being the cut through and the wings being voting blue. Hehe.

... they are much better at ads like this... Dems need to learn. Jan 2021 will be no time to "play fair" and say "the system worked." With no consequences or changes, there will be more Trumps.

I cringe when I hear a “converted voter” ad favorable to Biden. I’m glad these people saw the light, but I’m also sad they voted Trump in the first place, and now want to tell others who to vote for this time.

Even so, I’m delighted these ads work. So, the more cringe-worthy the converted voter commercial seems, the better it is for Biden.

Because eventually, almost everybody becomes an ex-Trumpist, if for nothing more than to stay out of jail.

We have so many great people on our side who happen to be famous. Being Hollywood famous does not negate their right to an opinion. We would be even further up shit creek without them. (It sure doesn't stop the rightwingers. However, fewer and fewer are having the courage to dip their toe into the cesspool... Like Martha says, "that is a good thing".)
