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

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.
