A great number of prominent ex-Republicans have assembled something called the Lincoln Project, an ad hoc group whose purpose is to remove Donald Trump from office before he can inflict any further damage. Their core tool to bring this about is the creation and distribution of short but extremely powerful videos that provide evidence of how completely criminally insane this whole situation has become.
