Dear Trump supporter,

Let’s make a deal. I will not accuse you of being evil as Satan or stupid as a bag of rocks if you show you are capable of learning from the experience of the past 4 years. President-Elect Biden is going out of his way to embrace you and offer you a pathway to humanity. I am not feeling so generous. Here’s what I am willing to do:

You cannot support Nazis.
...
You cannot support people who objectify or molest women.
...
You cannot support crazy people owning a veritable arsenal of military-grade weapons.
...
You cannot demand that government should dictate all reproductive decisions in the name of “pro life”.
...
You cannot support people who oppose science.
...

I could go on and on, but let’s just leave it there. I cannot meet you halfway if you insist on a position of ignorance or intolerance. If that’s the only way you can live, then we are going to have hard times ahead. I sincerely hope that you can learn something by what has transpired over the past 4 years and find a way to make the basic changes in your approach to living in a civilized society. You must change. I hope you do. I will welcome you, fully understanding that we probably won’t agree on everything. But nothing can happen until you commit to moving from the intractable positions you have locked yourself into. You must do that. I cannot do it for you and there is no “halfway” where we can meet.

Last December, we launched The Lincoln Project with a clear mission: Defeat Donald Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box. Today tens of millions of Americans are making their voices heard. We believe they will repudiate this president and his core beliefs.

Those of us who formed The Lincoln Project had spent much of our professional lives working to elect Republicans. Many in our former tribe have expressed anger and disbelief that we would turn against our own party to take on a sitting president.

In our minds, there was never any other option.

The party we once called home exists now as a corrupted shell of its former self, informed by neither principle nor philosophy. It is a political Chernobyl — radioactive and dangerous but with a still unknown half-life.

...

What does a Joe Biden victory this week mean? First, it means a return to competence facing the two biggest challenges of our moment: COVID-19 and the economy. On both, Biden will likely return to the technocratic doctrine of radical competence, and that’s just fine. Ideologues left and right will decry it too little or too much, but the new president’s first, second and 10th job is to manage this virus and reset this economy.
