The Lincoln Project\u2019s modus operandi is a simple game of persuasion and fear-mongering. They prey upon low-information voters, creating an atmosphere of constant threat and paranoia. By exaggerating the actions of the so-called \u201cMAGA extremists\u201d and painting them as a grave danger, they manipulate vulnerable individuals into believing everything they hold dear is under attack. This fear-driven approach allows the Lincoln Project to position itself as the saviors, fighting against an imagined enemy and urging supporters to contribute financially to their cause.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Early in the timeline of Project Lincoln’s existence,\u00a0Stephen Kruiser recognized the blatant hypocrisy<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>of the so-called “Principled Conservative” schtick put out by the LP prophets of sleaze…<\/p>\n As we are all painfully aware, the Never-Trump crowd has laughably been blathering on and on about their principles since 2016. If milking as much money as you can while crapping all over 9\/10ths of the people you sided with for most of your career is a \u201cprinciple,\u201d then they have a case. I\u2019m not opposed to anyone making money legally, but I will shoot your high horse if you\u2019re a petty sellout pretending to occupy a position of moral superiority.<\/p>\n The Lincoln Project has rapidly distinguished itself as the worst of the worst. Sure, they bark about principles like all the Nevers do, but they\u2019re so transparently awful that I doubt even they believe their own b.s. Over in Never-Trump Grifterland, the Lincoln Project makes the writers at The Bulwark look like the American Conservative Union.<\/p>\n The major players in the Lincoln Project continue to portray themselves as principled anti-Trump Republicans or \u2014 in Schmidt\u2019s case \u2014 independents. In reality, they are all advocates for the Democrats now. It\u2019s not just Trump who they want to defeat, it\u2019s any Republican currently running who didn\u2019t disavow Trump and join their pathetic little reindeer games.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Once heralded as conservative saviors turned Never Trump crusaders, Project Lincoln’s hollow empire has devolved into a circus of grift, hubris, and spectacular collapse, leaving a trail of betrayed donors, squandered millions, and public ridicule in their wake. Their 2020 betrayal of conservatism, as the Patriot Post exposed in November 2020, was a shameless cash grab\u2014promising to topple Trump with viral ads and tiki-torch stunts, only to crash harder than a lead balloon at a clown convention, achieving nothing but a $67 million fundraising fiasco that enriched the inner circle while delivering zero electoral impact.<\/p>\n The Patriot Post: Lincoln Project Betrayed Conservatives, but Failed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n There are some who out of firm conviction and commitment to their stated principles play the game fairly, win or lose. Then there are those who seek to use underhanded tactics to defeat their opponents irrespective of the standards, all while justifying their behavior by insisting on the \u201crighteousness\u201d of their cause. The latter defines the fallaciously named \u201cLincoln Project,\u201d a group of anti-Trump self-proclaimed \u201cRepublicans\u201d that ran a well-funded ad campaign against President Donald Trump and Republican senators. The ads were, according to the left-wing Atlantic, \u201cpersonally abusive, overwrought, pointlessly salacious, and trip-wired with non sequiturs.\u201d Fortunately, the betrayal was largely a failure.<\/p>\n The truth is that the members of The Lincoln Project are not really Republicans at all. They are political grifters who have taken advantage of the Left\u2019s hatred of Trump to rake in millions. As the Washington Examiner notes, \u201cAfter the election, the [Lincoln Project] plans to expand its brand into a new media network, recently signing with United Talent Agency to build Lincoln Media.\u201d These charlatans not only fail to stand on any principles even remotely consistent with conservative values, but they\u2019re actively opposing those principles. They are better described as traitors to the conservative cause and the Republican Party.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Washington Examiner: Twitter removes Lincoln Project post that doxxed lawyers representing Trump<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Twitter removed a post from the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump PAC, on Tuesday in which it provided the contact information for two lawyers representing President Trump and told its followers to \u201cmake them famous.\u201d<\/p>\n A spokesperson for Twitter told the Washington Examiner that the tweet violated the social media platform\u2019s rules on abusive behavior.<\/p>\n \u201cThe account owner will be required to delete the violative tweet before regaining access to their account,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n \u201cHere are two attorneys attempting to help Trump overturn the will of the Pennsylvanian people,\u201d the Lincoln Project tweeted, providing both the phone numbers and email addresses to doxx the lawyers. \u201cMake them famous.\u201d<\/p>\n Merriam-Webster defines doxxing as publishing \u201cprivate information about (someone) especially as a form of punishment or revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n The two lawyers work for the Porter Wright Morris & Arthur law firm\u2019s Pittsburgh location. That firm and the Ohio-based Jones Day law firm are representing the Trump campaign in a federal lawsuit filed on Monday alleging voting irregularities in Pennsylvania, according to the American Bar Association Journal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In recent months, the fragile edifice of The Lincoln Project\u2019s financial empire collapsed spectacularly into public view, exposing a laughable operation teetering on the brink of insolvency and drowning in its own excesses. Internal documents and whistleblower accounts, detailed in our scathing expos\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> published on February 3, 2025, revealed a staggering pattern of mismanagement: millions of dollars squandered on exorbitant salaries for founders and staff\u2014some pulling in six-figure paychecks despite the organization\u2019s nonprofit status\u2014while frivolous spending on flashy TikTok campaigns, viral video productions, and over-the-top social media stunts drained the coffers dry.<\/p>\n These theatrics meant to recapture the fleeting buzz of their 2020 anti-Trump ads, instead became a parody of relevance, with cringe-inducing dance routines and hashtag-driven pleas for attention that mocked their own credibility. Labeled \u201cfinancial fools\u201d by critics and former donors, the group\u2019s once-lofty promises of saving democracy from Trumpism were reduced to pathetic begging for scraps from a dwindling pool of gullible supporters\u2014many of whom, burned by past donations, now view the Project as little more than a grift masquerading as a movement.<\/strong><\/span> The expos\u00e9 painted a picture of a group so blinded by hubris that it failed to see its own implosion, leaving behind a trail of unpaid bills, disillusioned backers, and a legacy of fiscal recklessness that shattered any remaining pretense of fiscal responsibility.<\/p>\n Then came Resolute Square, [Grifter Project 2.0<\/strong><\/a>] August 2024 rebrand\u2014a desperate, hucksterish ploy to squeeze more donations from a base they already bled dry, a pathetic pantomime of relevance so transparent it screams desperation from the rooftops. And let\u2019s not forget, co-founder Rick Wilson, the smirking jester of their court, whose sneering quips about \u201cchildless cat ladies\u201d and \u201crubes\u201d in May 2024 turned him into the laugh line that keeps on giving\u2014a walking parody of elitist scorn, alienating even their dwindling fanbase.
