Conservatives don't typically donate to ActBlue

ActRed went almost exclusively to Trump. My point was it's equally possible that he's just a conservative never Trumper, of which there are many thanks to the great work of the Lincoln Project. Trump's new VP was one of them, calling him "America's Hitler" at the time.

    It was called WinRed, not ActRed. ActBlue and WinRed were the DNC and RNCs respective PACs. The Lincoln Project was incredible, especially once you take events like January 6th in context. The kind of Republicans that made The Lincoln Project and investigated the actors behind January 6th are what our political system needs more of.
