Damn, not a sentence I ever thought I would find myself agreeing with.

Well, you could rewrite the sentence as “conservative group acknowledges reality for once.”

Presumably because it started affecting them somehow.

They're worried that Trump destroying the world economy will cost them future elections.

Dunno - the Lincoln Project has been speaking a lot of sense since 2019 far as I remember.

Don't know shit about their fiscal or social policies - but they're a Republican group that has been going HARD after Trump for 6+ years now.

I'm sure they're a bunch of Federalist society dickbags that still believe in aggressive 1800s agrarianism, but they make some funny-ass videos

Not as much as you'd hope. They did support DeSantis, after all.

I immediately rescind whatever small praise I may have given them before.

I just threw up in my mouth.

Like a lot.

They hate trump, but are still GOP and want all the same regressive shit the rest of the party does. They just want someone more subtle and respectable to represent them

I mean totally fair assessment.

And like I've been saying in a lot of my recent comments: "We all get it, you read Atlas Shrugged"

If I had to pick between the Great Orange Satan and your bog-standard Republican ...

Well, #47 is digging his own grave with the rest of casket and six feet of dirt on top of him and just keeping the shovelwork going hard.

So maybe a new age of prosperity after the Reds are voted out.
