Resolute Square

Why We Need Resolute Square Now

It's not enough to defeat them at the ballot box. It's time to take on their puppet masters - the MAGA media overlords.

In 2020, The Lincoln Project launched to fight Trump and Trumpism. Millions of American patriots joined together to make The Lincoln Project the most effective SuperPac in political history. Of the over $3 billion spent in 2020 campaigns, it was only The Lincoln Project that was so uniquely dangerous to Donald Trump that he tried to have his Attorney General shut it down.

But defeating Donald Trump is not enough. Today the MAGA Republican Party has morphed into a sweeping authoritarian crusade. Don’t let the buffoonish characters fool you – it is a dedicated, serious movement housed in the Republican party, funded by billionaire plutocrats, staffed by dangerous men and women, and amplified by the radical right-wing media ecosystem led by Fox News. They are confident, patient, and committed to breaking American democracy.

And their propaganda machine is growing. Every hour of every day, dozens of radical, right-wing media outlets pump poison into the democratic bloodstream. They thrive on conspiracy, incite hatred, promote violence, spread lies, and tear down America. It is not enough to defeat their hateful candidates; to save the America we love, we must rise up and fight the evil MAGA media with the ferocity it took to defeat Donald Trump.

Traditional media has failed the moment. This is not the time to tell both sides of a lie. We can’t win this war hoping existing media will suddenly learn how to fight. It will never happen, and each day the power of right-wing media grows, a viper wrapping itself around the good heart of America.

This is why some of us from The Lincoln Project have launched a new organization with one mission: fight Fox News and its hateful spawn.

Resolute Square is built by warriors to go to war. It will be your voice to take on bullies, liars, and freaks like Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro. The MAGA media have convinced themselves they are too powerful to be challenged. We remember when a guy named Donald Trump did the same. You helped prove him wrong. Now it’s time once again to speak truth to power.

Resolute Square is not a billionaire’s vanity project. There are no Corporate Over Lords. We are free to fight with whatever it takes to win for democracy. And we know how to win.

But we need your help. We need you to join us in the fight at Resolute Square. Help us build the weapon to blow up the MAGA Media Death Star. We start small, but we are fearless and fiercely determined. With every American who joins Resolute Square, we grow stronger.

This is what we all know: there are more of us than there are of them. We are right, and they are wrong. We will build this together.

For too many years, we have stared at our screens filled with the lies of Fox News and its detestable imitators in disgust and rage. This is our chance to turn the tables. It’s time we made the other side stare at their screens, asking, “Who the hell do they think they are?” while we dismantle their palace of lies one gold brick by gold brick.

We can do this. We must do this. Together.

The battle begins at Resolute Square.

    Decoding Fox News

    Fox News decided to lean into the skid and scare the bejeezus out of its audience with a combination of the longshoreman strike, increased violence in the Middle East and the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Late in the week Donald J. Trump told multiple lies about the federal response to the hurricane that Fox News hosts were happy to amplify. Sean Hannity mentioned lies about FEMA over 50 times in two days. Greg Gutfeld pretended he was an expert on climate change and a Harris supporter snuck into a Breakfast with Friends segment on Fox & Friends.

    Decoding Fox News

    When Fox News doesn’t like reality it makes up its own. Fox News hosts pretended Kamala Harris was tanking in the polls when she’s actually gaining more ground on Trump. Fox also ignored the easily verifiable timeline associated with the criminal indictment surrounding New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The FBI started investigating Adams two years before the mayor started feuding with President Biden. Fox also gave up an hour of its airtime for Trump to use as a platform for his campaign. Jesse Watters compared Kamala Harris to an actual infant.

    Fox made a dramatic pivot from trashing Kamala Harris to promoting Donald J. Trump. The network also obsessively covered the second assassination attempt on the former president. Fox hosts complained about heated rhetoric while ignoring Trump’s inflammatory words. The network also featured a lot of Trump including him on a n episode of “Gutfeld,” and giving away it’s primetime coverage to show a live feed of a Trump rally in Long Island, NY. Laura Ingraham whipped up fear about Haitian immigrants while Lawrence Jones claims there was no racial aspects to their harassment. Fox & Friends tried to make it seem like the recent interest rate cut by the Fed was a bad thing.
