One of the more amusing developments in the aftermath of the 2024 election is the latest venture from the troubled Lincoln Project. After facing a humiliating defeat at the polls, the Democrats have decided to shake off their pink hats and adopt a shiny new strategy for resisting President-elect Donald Trump. This time, they seem to be hoping for a more sophisticated “resistance” that blends social media sniping with economically beneficial grifting.
Rick Wilson, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, is reportedly stepping up to lead this new initiative. According to reports, he and his pals are all fired up about hitting back at the president and the Republican establishment with a level of research usually reserved for top-tier intelligence operations. This shift signals that Democrats are no longer relying solely on failed street protests or social media whines but are instead fundraising for a full-scale campaign to unearth dirt on figures like Elon Musk and the family behind Fox News, all while pulling in big bucks from leftist donors.
In an era when conservative media influence is at an all-time high, these Democrats are tapping into some fascinating ideas. One such new dark-money outfit, dubbed the Two Plus Two Coalition, has come up with an eye-watering proposal to lure in eager donors for a campaign aimed at dismantling Trump’s support network. This coalition has made it clear that they’re ready to lay all kinds of attacks at the feet of pro-Trump media moguls, asking for cool million-dollar contributions to fund their snooping agenda.
Wilson’s charm lies in his commitment to the anti-Trump message that has anchored his career since 2016. While Trump’s success has showcased the failures of washed-up GOP insiders like Wilson, the left has decided to reach out to him for his talents in digging up unflattering information. In a twist of irony, the Lincoln Project – the very group that turned into a punchline for their ineffective anti-Trump ads – is now being thrust into a feature role in a movement some may consider desperate and ultimately futile.
The so-called Lincoln Project, which has been as credible as the Black Lives Matter scam, fails again with a Trump landslide.
Why doesn’t this gaggle of sad sack losers call their ‘organization’ what it is – “The Trump Project”?

This initiative is part of a larger Democratic scheme to combat a second Trump administration by employing legal tactics and leveraging state power instead of the raucous protests that faded away after 2017. Various advocacy groups and a coalition of Democrat governors have emerged, collectively determined to thwart Trump’s policy agenda at every turn, especially on hot-button issues like immigration and abortion. It seems like they’ve all signed on for the fight, albeit acknowledging that their chances of winning at the federal level are slim.
While Wilson’s latest grift is unlikely to produce any meaningful results, the continued plight of the Lincoln Project stands as a symbol of the left’s struggle to mount an effective counter to Trump’s influence. The grassroots efforts at the state level could present a challenge, but overall, it’s clear that Democrats will need more than a collection of washed-up political operatives to win over an electorate that has repeatedly shown it prefers the bold leadership of Trump and his allies.
