In February, the scamsters at the disgraced Lincoln Project announced an “independent probe” to explain how the project’s masters permitted founder John Weaver to use his position to solicit at least 21 young men for sex.
Apparently, the group hasn’t had time to wrap up that investigation. But they have had time to concoct another scheme to separate gullible liberals from their money: the Franklin Project.
It will create a curriculum for school kids, kindergarten through grade 12, and also recruit a nationwide “Democracy Corps.” The project will focus on “civility” and “decency,” something of a rich claim coming from people who denounced Trump supporters as rubes and hillbillies.
Fool Them Twice
A video at the Lincoln Project’s Twitter feed opens with the word civility and its definition against a black screen. It’s a “way of approaching debate with constructing dialogue, focusing on results that benefit the community,” the video says.
The video segues into photos of late presidents Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson shaking hands. “We’re at our best when we’re all moving the same direction,” former President Barack Hussein Obama intones as the photos roll by.
You needn’t be Ben Franklin to know what direction that is, but anyway, the video explains that “democracy is born out of civility,” and “is more than an idea.” More photos show former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush standing together, and then President Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence wearing masks and bumping elbows.
Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, recently dumped from the House GOP leadership because of her obsession with former President Trump, explains that “we must love America so much that we will stand above politics to defend her.”
“Franklin organizers believe civics discussions have devolved from an exchange of ideas to ‘an unhealthy game of winners and losers,’ as their prospectus states, Axios reported. “That’s triggered extreme partisanship, fueling the rise of authoritarian figures.”
Frighteningly, the scamsters who permitted a homosexual stalker to harass and bully young men and boys — one of whom was 14 years old — will provide “a K-12 civics education program it will offer free to local school districts.”
The Franklinites will also create a “Democracy Corps” to “advocate for and amplify the values upon which America was founded.”
Greg Jenkins, who toiled for globalist George W. Bush, explained why the Lincoln Project founders created the subsidiary.
“There are plenty of frustrated people out there who don’t know what to do, don’t know where to go, they don’t feel like either of the parties are representing them adequately, and they’re right,” he told Axios. “So, what we will do is tell these folks, ‘Listen, you’re not alone.’”
Continued Jenkins:
We’re going to provide you content that reminds you about your roles — as a citizen, what it means to be a citizen, what you can do.
If progressives and conservatives don’t feel at home with us, then they have a problem. Self-identified Republicans and Democrats ought to feel perfectly at home.
Civility and Decency?
If Jenkins is to focus on “civility” and decency,” he’ll probably need to speak with Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson, a washed-up political hack who, like other principals, banked oodles of money with the hate-Trump scam.
Early last year, “civility” advocate Wilson had quite the time ridiculing Trump supporters as a “boomer rube” demographic.
“Donald Trump’s the smart one, and there all y’all, y’all elitists are duuuumb,” Wilson said on CNN. Of course, he affected a fake Southern accent.
Whatever the IQ of Trump supporters, Wilson isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. He thought people would believe that Lincoln project founders didn’t know about Weaver’s homosexual stalking.
“Stop the lying,” project founder George Conway finally tweeted. The project’s principals were well aware of Weaver’s stalking, he averred.
At the height of the scandal, the Associated Press divulged that some project principals lined their pockets. “Of the $90 million Lincoln Project has raised,” AP reported, “more than $50 million has gone to firms controlled by the group’s leaders.”
The project’s donations page, which closed at the height of the scandal, has re-opened.
Credulous leftists who believe in “civility” and “decency” can start donating again.
