The Lincoln Project Produced An Ad Just to Fuck With trump's Head

What? You literally made a thread to discuss Lincoln Project don't act like you are being censored. Anyway you can criticize just don't use it to frame other posters as bad for supporting the ads. Like the ole "if you support this then you are..." Stick to slamming the people behind the ads. That should be fine.
User banned (1 week): ignoring moderation, trolling and derailing over a series of posts
I don't know why you have a hate boner for me but you should probably lay off.
Would love to discuss the content of the ad itt rather than petty disagreements as to whether the TLP is considered fibre or refined sugar. Wish yall would make a different thread for that.
On topic - comes close to the JP one for overloading Trump's senses and making them spend money on calming the beast rather than battlegrounds.

I was doing you a favor by linking back to the thread you made so you could have your very serious discussion.
You should be thanking me!
There's much more here that's worthy of discussion than just what's in the ads.
I'm pretty sure he's right though. You made a thread about not supporting TLP, then posted in two threads about everyone needing to stop supporting TLP, then asked in the latest thread where to put your opinion about the site allowing links to TLP ads.
It is a bit weird. Just make another thread about it, I guess? I imagine though you're just trying to get this one closed as well by starting the same discussion over here, that already made the mods close the first one soo
edit to be clear: I might even agree with you. But the way you go about it doesn't seem like the best one.

as a minority, I do not feel comfortable seeing advertising by anti-abortion, pro-war, anti-immigrant republicans being repeatedly signal-boosted on this website and these people being repeatedly praised for their work. if this community has totally curbed all discussion on Chapo Trap House, Joe Rogan, and Cenk Uygur, then campaign advisors to John Mcain, George W. Bush, John Kasich, and Rudy Giuliani should be a no-brainer. I find it disturbing that I and many others have voiced the same concern and weeks later we are still getting threads effusively praising never trump republicans. I would appreciate if these concerns were not completely ignored and met with bans yet again

What's the likelihood of Trump even seeing these ads? From what I understand his media consumption consists of right-wing cable news, his self-curated Twitter feed, and aides feeding him good news to keep him happy. If Trump never actually watches the ad, it seems like it ultimately amounts to spitting in the wind.
That's just it, they directly target the ads for his location, for the Fox shows he watches.
VoteVets is a progressive veteran PAC that has also been hitting Trump (and the Lincoln Project has been signal boosting them non-stop)
Supposedly they are directly targeting his eyes with their ad buys. I have no clue if that's true or where that news came from. But, it's what people here keep saying, and I want it to be true. So, it must be true.
A lot on the left would be against it because they think the left needs to remain as civil as possible and will attack their own for taking even the lightest of swipes at someone on the right. Civility over all!
Don't expect the same. As long as it's a dunk on Trump people don't seem too care. These ads are also essentially preaching to the choir here
Hell, we're seeing attacks from the left for even liking these ads.
That said, it's nice to have an outside do the dirty hits as it potentially insulates moderate independents form getting turned off both candidates.
"Hahaha look at these cool republican trolls owning Trump. Welcome to the #Resistance." - Absolute Dipshit liberals.
"I love fantasizing about murdering Michael Brown." - The psychopath behind these ads.
Hope you all enjoy the Lincoln project because these twofaced scumbags will absolutely be running the Biden Democratic party within 2 years.

Same as fuck. People don't want to weigh anything beyond the election (wHaTeVeR iT tAKeS), and it's fucking tiring.
Can you please explain how these people will be running the Biden Democratic party within 2 years? Thanks.
Do you blame them? We risk having four more years of Trump. Anything that helps prevent this is welcomed. Doesn't mean we don't see how this benefit them (TLP) as well. But we can't have any chance of a Trump re-election. No way, no how.
As I said in the other thread, never interrupt your enemy in the middle of a mistake. Trying to reform the GOP for suburbia at the cost of the base will depress enthusiasm for both. And in the short term, make the GOP spend more money against itself.
I can see not wanting to post the ads on the site because of who's behind them but I 100% am glad that they exist.
As a Mexican-American, with family directly affected by Trump's vile policies, I have absolutely no problem with this group. We need every bit of help to defeat Donald Trump in November, and I welcome help from anybody looking to bring him down. I don't care what they did in the past and what they'll do in the future. November is all that matters.
Nothing matters beyond the election, and what is the risk here? That somehow we are all going to become republicans? This absolutely needs to be signal boosted.
As a Minority, I don't have that luxury to think of what the after of the election is, That is paramount.
I blame them for being short-sighted, yes. Trump isn't the final gasp of American-raised fascism. These Lincoln Project creatures could very well be propagandists for the next one, provided, oh, that he upholds the slightest veneer of civility. Rehabilitate them at our collective peril.
Not saying you're wrong, but where is the gaslighting tactic here? I'm just seeing an ad that say Trump has built a joke of an administration and that no one within really has his back. His dumbass "I need loyalty" routine might have worked in his business ventures, but it's failed him in politics.
I hear you. It wouldn't be the end of the world. The last 6 months have been tough, though, with everything combined, it does feel pretty bad. The republicans are definitely in bad shape, and will be in even worse shape after the election if all goes well. I'm not donating a single cent to the Lincoln Project, and democrats should know not too as well. But, as for right now, I'm happy to think it might have a positive effect for depressing republican turnout a little bit, hopefully.

We are again getting off topic here, but out of all the LP ads, I've seen one that could arguably be seen as problematic (the one comparing trump unfavorably to all the recent presidents). 99% of them are just horrible, classless, hatchet jobs on Trump. There is no GOP rehab going on.
When you already have ravenous austerity hawks like Larry Kudlow moving in on designing economic policy for Biden's administration, it's hard not to think that Kasich-style-Republicans will make an open house out of the party. Biden's own longstanding Reaganism notwithstanding, I think it's reasonable to expect that his white house will be somewhere in the George W. Bush zone of rightwing American partisan politics.
lots of people had no problem with Bernie's appearance on Joe Rogan because it would win him votes, but last I checked, I would be banned if I spoke about Joe Rogan as positively as people in here are speaking about never trump republicans. just because you have no problem with it doesn't mean it's not a legitimate grievance that should be addressed.
I like these Lincoln Project ads, but does anyone actually see them? I've never seen one of these ads or heard people talk about them outside of Era.
They won't be. It's a very silly angle. You can be against the people behind the ads but to the suggest they will be rewarded by Biden is hilarious. These ads are to preserve thier place in the GoP as they have been pushed out by Trumpers, that is the motivation here. The reward for them is a seat at the Republican table again which is obviously not good but Trumpers are no better so it's neither here nor there.
The president does, because they're location targeted at him.
