Meme group joins with Lincoln Project in new campaign against Trump

The group Meme 2020 is partnering with The Lincoln Project, a prominent Republican group opposing President Trump’s reelection, with a new campaign targeting young voters through popular Instagram accounts.
Meme 2020 made its first foray into politics earlier this year with a push backing Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign, but its latest project, which launched this week, is instead focusing on a broader voter mobilization effort.
“Meme 2020 is sort of laser focussed on sort of building up this new medium that has been kind of undeveloped in political advertising,” said Ryan Patrick Kelley, chief of staff of Meme 2020.
Partnering with The Lincoln Project, he said, seemed natural given the spotlight the anti-Trump GOP group has garnered in recent months. The Lincoln Project is run by Republicans opposed to Trump, including George Conway, the Washington, D.C., lawyer married to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.
“It's no secret that the Lincoln Project has been just an absolute juggernaut in this area,” Kelley said.
The GOP group earlier this month said it raised $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, and it has launched numerous ads attacking Trump. But the Lincoln Project has been active in “more traditional spaces,” Kelley noted. Through this partnership, their message can expand to try to reach younger voters, which will be a key voting bloc for the November election.

There is such intense shilling on social media and websites like Imgur.com, it's almost cute that they are claiming that NOW they're turning to paid instigators.

Memes only target Generation Derp and they don’t vote and are out “mostly peaceful” protesting anyway.

We don’t need a meme group for biden. Between his senile behavior; burn loot murder; tearing down monuments to great Americans; flipping off America by kneeling or walk off for our Anthem: and democrats actively and vocally encouraging burning down their OWN cities, the memes write themselves!

The same group of exiled losers keep reforming and rebranding the same old sht, just to collect money from giddy gullible Dems so they can continue to fly around and stay at fancy resorts.

"Meme 2020 made its first foray into politics earlier this year with a push backing Michael Bloombergs presidential campaign,..."
They're working against your Second Amendment rights and against manufacturing and building on U.S. soil more than anything else. They want absolute control and an impenetrable wall of legal and other obstacles against allowing you to compete in business. In essence,...slavery locked in permanently.

Memes are now legitimate news?
To: Meatspace
Yes. They are part of the information war against Trump. Too many won’t read articles so memes push the agenda quickly. The demographic tends to be young.

republican PACS need to pay attention to the Lincoln Project. They have put out some very punchy ads that the yoots are bragging about.
We need an equal response on all social media. And we need it now.

Over on Reddit there is a subreddit called
The Right Can't Meme. It's hysterical because of the awesome right memes and that it should be called The Left Can't Understand Right Memes. The utterly clueless comments are an insight into the stupidity and delusions of the left.
