Interesting piece in the Washington Post about the future of the Lincoln Project
Greg Sargent had a "long and spirited conversation" with John Weaver, a co-founder and head of the LP, touching on whether its members accept culpability in making the GOP what it is today with their past campaign work, to what it would be doing under a President Biden.
"But this raises another question — whether the Lincoln Project accepts the GOP’s own role in laying the groundwork for the moment. That includes the “Southern Strategy,” toleration of the Confederate flag, and a less blatant anti-immigrant sentiment that Trump made more explicit."

“I have my own atonement to do every day about that,” Weaver told me. “Did I contribute to putting a brick in the road to where we are today? Yeah, I did.”
"In Weaver’s own telling, conceding complicity in creating conditions for Trump’s rise is crucial to remaking the GOP. Which sheds light on how that might hopefully remain a Lincoln Project goal in a salutary way."
