    I mean sure, it’s cute. And the video is worthy of like, a small smirk, but is this really what the Lincoln Project is up to these days? Seems like they could be using their money and influence more responsibly. It’s probably more valuable to at least try to change some peoples’ minds. I don’t see how spending money producing a sketch that wouldn’t even make it on SNL is worthwhile.

      There is more going on here than you think. They have put a lot of thought into this I bet. As Republicans, the Lincoln Project knows that the kind of people who like Traitorapist Trump is exactly the kind of person that this kind of thing matters. Go directly at his image. Make him small, ridiculed, and the object of derision.

        That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought about it as a strategic attack on the small people, you’re onto something. It’s frankly absurd that this is what we’ve come to.

          It’s hard to cheer at a rally when you are actually wondering if he is wearing diapers or not.

              That can’t be real??

              Maybe Sleepy Don should start selling used ones gotta be a buck or two there so they can really show their devotion.

                Wasn’t widespread but it’s real. Maga people are beyond parody. People were mad about kripke getting too heavy handed with season 4 of the boys, but firecracker isn’t a caricature. That’s just literally how people in power like marge and boebert act.
