Wondering if The Lincoln Projects brilliant ads, from a Democratic perspective, actually changed any Republicans minds about DJT, or caused them to dig in further in their support of their president.

(7,981 posts)but, tragically, it seems clear to me now that the Trump catastrophe of 2016 was not the fluke/aberration that many of us thought it was. That it wasnt just about not liking Hillary and rolling the dice on a self-proclaimed successful business person. His presidency has been disastrous, he has a track record of unprecedented failure, and now has gotten more popular votes than in 2016.

They've definitely earned a new home in the Democratic party and I hope they stay!!

They were certainly entertaining and inspirational for our side, but Trumpers weren't very amenable to persuasion. Neither was I to be honest.

The ones they have done will live on on the You Tubes. I'm sure a deplorable will stumble across one now and again

(6,508 posts)The deplorables appear to have ignored TLP, and virtually every mojor former SR party/gov't official and every one of the members of the White House who have reported on what's going on there - which is a LOT. Cult behavior is powerful shit
