Republicans (or former Rs) against Trump (1 Viewer)

[MT15]

This is gaining momentum, pretty fast, it might be good to keep track of this movement.

This thread is from a thoughtful conservative that I follow on Twitter, and I generally enjoy seeing his takes:




Its a whole thread, so you will have to click on it to see the rest of his posts. I don’t know how to post the entire thread.

Here is the ad I was looking for early this morning. My favorite line: "One day, America on a tightrope."

They have really done a fabulous job of cobbling ads together.

my favorite line ( paraphrased ) " the world is watching, like a parent in the stands thru their fingers...."cmon. Cmon America"

I ordered two of their Ridin' With Biden signs that have Lincoln wearing aviator sunglasses on them even though they wouldn't arrive before the election (though they probably will before it's called...) just so I can frame it. Gladly gave them the $75 it cost as a donation for all they're doing and have done. One is a gift for someone else.

The Lincoln Project has really done the damn thing this cycle.

I honestly thought this would be a wake-up-call for a lot of trump voters... nope!
The party is no longer (R) it is whatever-trump-embodies-party

I think 93% of Republicans voted for Trump this election - that's up from 90% in 2016. So, the Lincoln project and so on did not really make a positive impact.

I was wondering about that. It just didn't have the intended effect except in maybe some isolated circumstances.

I think they were designed to make people who already didn't like Trump feel good, and were not effective at changing committed Republicans' opinions.

I don't think many changed their minds, on either side. People who voted for him, knew what they were voting for. There was plenty of evidence before the election, plenty during, and after. They chose to vote for a person like that. And most did so again.
I also don't get how there were many "undecided" voters. Maybe they were just not paying attention the past 4 years? I don't get how anyone could be undecided after everything trump has done (or said)

IMO the undecided voter in the 2020 presidential election is a farce, most are just attention seekers who have this incessant need to feel important, so they pretend to be undecided for a little extra attention.

That being said I came across this vid on facebook and it no kidding puts on display how ridiculous undecideds look, not too sure on the vid posting policy here but anyway:

Hell, you saw that after the debates when CNN had their panels of "undecided". Nothing in any of their statements showed them as being true undecided voters.

In hindsight, it probably solidified the R party and termed all those never-Trumper Rs as turncoats.

Especially after the 1st debate...how could someone go into the first debate "undecided", watch trump act like a complete donkey hole, and then say "he said some things that I kinda agree with...I'm leaning trump after this" complete BS.

There is no comparable Democratic candidate to Trump in our lifetimes.

I’m curious about the raw number of people who identify as Republican now versus 4 years ago. It’s easy to keep a high percentage if there is a bit of an exodus.

Also, found out my SIL voted for Trump, even though she hates him. She said she didn’t want her grandkids to grow up in a Socialist country. I just let it go. No point telling her how foolish that is. I was very surprised to hear about her vote though, because she had been vocally against Trump four years ago.

So the propaganda from the right is having the desired effect, imo. She said it was a hard decision, but she just thought about the US becoming socialist and couldn’t stomach that.

I dunno. I thought about the former Republicans leaving the party and what percentage they would be, but, how the hell did the votes for Trump go up that much from 2016? That said, I do think there are more Trump young voters than there were in 2016. I think there is a misconception that there's this massive wave of young voters. There are some, but Trump has his fair of them. Maybe thats why his numbers are higher.

Yet...no comparable candidate yet. If this tight race tilts the wrong way, who knows what the Dems do to counter a Trump Jr/I. Kushner ticket in '24.
