Yeah I really hope these Never Trumpers don't stay in the liberal coalition cause with them and the Chamber of Commerce switching sides to the Democrats we could end up with a Democratic party further to the right than ever.

Yeah, that sounds like a very sinister tactic from The Lincoln Project. It's a little scary to think of how any political activity or commission can these days suddenly attract a threat of violence.

What's with the GOP pussy-footing around Trump while he comes to terms emotionally with losing the election? Lucky for the US that no foreign power has staged a Bay of Pigs style act of aggression on Trump's watch; would the GOP reaction be the same? " Give the President a week slumped in front of cable tv while he struggles to accept such a hurtful event."

Really? Even considering what’s at stake?

If he successfully undermines this election would mob violence against him, cabinet members actively supporting the refusal to leave like Pompeo, senators like The Turtle, governors like Desantis, and Trump’s legal team still not be justified?

I consider this move by The Lincoln Project fair warning. You reap what you sow.

You're doing that thing where you ignore the devil's details of the people who sound like they might be on your side. They don't give a **** about justice. They give a **** about power.

Probably true. Targeting those rich **** lawyers is ****ing golden delicious though. It occurred to me that they’re probably trying to weaponize people with politics like mine to further their own right wing agenda though.

Perhaps the means justify the end.

I mean I can't say I'm opposed to some guillotining but I also want to guillotine the Lincoln Project.

That's a complete lost cause. The old Republican party is dead. They just haven't come to terms yet.

Trumpism is the new Republican party. It's not going away anytime soon imo.

This is it. The new GOP is protectionist, nationalist, and big government.

Sounds like an internet college.
