They've exploited symbols of hate for their entire careers. They care now?

As soon as trump is out of office, I expect the same people running those ads will go full attack ads against Democrats.

with their dog whistles to racists and fascists. Now they're trying to get rid of him so they can go back to their veiled references, instead of Trump's 'in your face' racism and fascism.

It's reality. If and when we get rid of the orange monster, the repubs will revert back to their old ways. They'll be fighting to eliminate health care. They'll be fighting bank and financial institution reforms. They will no longer need the annoying, weak and evil Dems. So Dems, let's not be lulled into a sense of false security by snuggling up to the repubs.

...I know some of them. Some are relatives. Two of my great-great grandfathers were Civil War veterans, and Radical Republicans. I still hope that someday, the GOP might recover their roots, and we'll have a real, sane "conservative" party.

I subscribe to them on Youtube. I hope Biden's ads will be just as strong.

Here in Texas they are paraded around quite a bit. I've always disliked them, but it wasn't until I saw a pickup plastered with them a few days after 9-11 that I realized to my depths that they stood for hatred of America and what it stands for. Burst into tears. Treason is right.

I like the way they raised the question. A direct accusation might meet with self-justification. The questions raised are going to linger and be mulled over. And about more than Trump, I hope.

We need to up our Ad game to equal what these never Trump Republicans are churning out. They get right to the crux of it.

Keep going after this demented excuse for a human Lincoln Project!
