NO, we got trump because a good chunk of Republicans were fine with voting for a racist.

Yeah so that's what you'd like to believe. I'm sure our pandemic response office would still be alive with "all the best people" instead of disbanded in 2018 with a clown show in its place putting us in third world status on our response, and back in 1918 pandemic with zero tools in the tool box. Read about the 2018 response. It was close everything. Social distance. Wear a mask. There was no testing, our testing is inadequate, no contact tracing, ditto with that inadequate response now. Kids did remote learning at home. Ditto. Computers would have been nice, but a whole lot of kids don't have access or adequate wifi today.

Compare our response to Taiwan's stellar science based response, with all the best people and we look like a third world country. That's an embarrassment.

As far as the Lincoln Project ads? I think they're hilarious. They're meant to keep Trump off balance, and they do. Mean girl tweets about them because they get under his thin skin. If he spent less time worrying about his image and tweeting maybe we could have some sort of solution to controlling Covid? I won't hold my breath. He doesn't have a clue on how to fix this because "it is what it is" after all. What kind of a response is that coming from a president in the middle of a catastrophe? I'm sure the Lincoln Project will have a field day with that one.

As you can see they don't really care about Russia when someone, involved with Russia, is telling them what they want to hear

The Lincoln Project = pro-Russia, do-good Christian charity hating, racist, xenophobic, confederate flag loving, tax cheating grifters. What's not for the T-haters to love with them, right?

There is no way that Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz would have made such a mess of things. Even Ben Carson could have handled this coronavirus thing ten times better.
Which ones are the fault of Trump, and what would have been different had there been a different person in the White House?

1) The Wall - Has nothing to do with Trump. No other administration would have done anything.
2) Mexico pay for it - Who cares? Most people just wanted it built. Though Trump did renegotiate NAFTA?
3) Kids in cages - Obama built them and used them the same way. Trump's policy placed children into shelters.
4) ****hole countries - Why does it even matter? Are some countries not ****holes?
5) Trump infidelity with porn star - This is a strike against him, and especially because of his evangelical support.
6) Race riots - Has very little to do with Trump. And were/are being instigated by democrats for political purposes.
7) BLM wants equal rights for black people - They already have equal rights. They want equal outcomes.
8) Police brutality - Nothing to do with Trump.
9) Fine people on both sides - There were, and Trump denounced repeatedly the groups who weren't.
10) Impeachment - Was all a show.
11) Russian collusion - There was none.
12) Russians paying bounties - What do people expect trump do? Go to war? I doubt this is even new.
13) Coronavirus a hoax - Taken out of context.
14) Trump inject disinfectant - A bit silly, but he certainly didn't mean injecting bleach.
15) 150,000 Americans dead coronavirus - The hardest-hit state has been New York. How much of that was Trump's fault? And cases were on a long decline until the George Floyd protests. Trump is partly responsible but who would have done better?
16) No testing because Trump? - He absolutely could have and should have done more to make sure we had testing. Would other administrations have done better?
17) The economy - Was doing great until Covid, and is still doing better than most countries.
18) Tax cuts to rich people, who didn't hire people - Unemployment was at historic lows until Covid.
19) High unemployment - Unemployment was at historic lows until Covid.


Again, if their goal was to convince Trump supporters to vote Biden, that video was a complete waste of time and money.

It’s hilarious. Come on, even the staunchest Trump supporter could agree. It’s not going to sway you to vote against him, I understand that. But it’s comedy gold. Just lighten up a bit and laugh along.

The republican party has been gutless and part of the deep state for years right along with the democrats. All of them look out for their own interested ahead of country. Trump was elected because he was not deep state. That is why I think members of the squad are getting elected. AOC was just a bartender and now a congresswomen. People on both sides are fed up with politics as usual. Unfortunately, neither group of voters are electing smart people.

To be fair, many republicans and some independents were conned by Trump, they chose to overlook the racist part. Now they are too embarrassed to admit they fell for the scam, so they are willing to sacrifice the country to an idiot to save face.

This is what the Lincoln Project is all about. Just shining some light on the reality of this miserable situation. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, what is the point?

I would say that a Trump supporter would not bring up kids in cages and more likely to call the protests ANTIFA inspired. But other than that where were the lies?

As far as the deaths go. If Biden or Clinton was POTUS I would assume they would have shut down the country much longer along the lines of Canada which has half the deaths per capita. So we would be at half the deaths.

Watch the video again. It’s pretty self explanatory, hits that and all the other highlights.
