The Lincoln Project and other "never Trumpers" are not our allies.
The enemy of our enemy is *not* our friend.
Appropriating the image and legacy of Lincoln to suit their messaging and fundraising smacks of propaganda and revisionism.

They prey on our anger to part us from our money. They siphon the majority of funds raised in to their own pockets, and they support GOP House and Senate candidates.
Don't donate, but still RT? That's helping to support them as others will donate based on the increased exposure.

Don't take my word for it though. It is all public record as they are a tax exempt non-profit so there's a prolific paper trail to follow: https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2020/05/lincoln-project-capitalizes-on-trump-rage/
And just why does the Lincoln Project use the visage of Lincoln, anyway?
Could it be that he was one of the last honorable Republicans?
And does he even represent today's Republican party?
I don't think so. The parties switched labels since then! https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/tactics-lincoln-project/613636/

Instead of rallying behind the Lincoln Project because they put out a few good ads, let's examine what may be the core reasoning behind its existence: optics.
This is about salvaging what's left of the right wing, such that it can be viable in 2020 and beyond.
Damage control.

By supporting their messaging with retweets and donations we are, in effect, supporting our actual enemies.
The founders of the Lincoln Project, among them George Conway and Rick Wilson, are unabashed critics of the democratic party, and even of Joe Biden himself.

They know Trump's time is up--this maneuvering is purely tactical. It's not along ethical lines.
These same people supported Trump and his policies. They supported the GOP well before Trump and they will after, too.
So let's take a look at them both to get a better picture...

George Conway a conservative lawyer, who openly supported Trump during his presidential campaign, has apparently 'seen the light' and decided that he wants to throw shade at Trump -- while his wife, Kellyanne Conway, serves the Trump administration unapologetically. 
Conway—who's done favors for Trump; worked w/Coulter to impeach President Clinton; attended a party w/Trump thrown by Rebekah Mercer, offered Trump legal advice & felt it would be a good idea for Trump to fire SDNY chief attorney Bharara— is not your hero. https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/george-conway/dear-resistance-democrats-george-conway-is-not-you/
Rick Wilson, a self-proclaimed conservative strategist who once claimed Joe Biden to be "America's most creepy,"a jackass" and "a moron," is now apparently also our friend now?
This marriage of our enemy of our enemy is our friend is perilous at best.

The same newfound friend gleefully supports open carry gun policies that any sane and rational person knows only provoke the intensification of violence.
Rick Wilson's unapologetic support of ridiculous second amendment abuse is a core problem w/the GOP. https://observer.com/2018/08/rick-wilson-never-trump-strategist-death-threats/

Rick Wilson also apparently feels it's acceptable to employ legitimate buyside boycotts to support his own personal vendettas against companies that, according to him, wronged him.
A self-centered lack of awareness that embodies problematic GOP culture. https://noqreport.com/2020/06/16/dominos-pizza-nukes-rick-wilson/

The Lincoln Project has no loyalty to democratic ideals, and their interests may be against Trump, but they want to keep the Senate red and flip the House red while we feverishly focus on Trump.
