Cracks Grow in MAGA Coalition over Epstein Files, Healthcare & Racist Group Texts: Ex-GOP Adviser
Fissures in the GOP: Stuart Stevens on MAGA Extremism and Internal Conflicts
Understand why prominent Republicans are breaking ranks on issues like the Epstein files and federal overreach. Learn how the anti-Trump Lincoln Project targets the core of the current Republican electorate.
Short Summary
- Key Republicans publicly break with Trump’s agenda (e.g., Epstein files, ACA subsidies).
- Stuart Stevens characterizes the modern GOP as an extremist movement utterly dominated by Donald Trump.
- The Lincoln Project targets low-level dissenters and increases internal party tension via focused advertising.
- Stevens analyzes Trump’s base as reliant on the fastest-declining large demographic group in America.
This discussion explores the growing, yet fragile, divisions within the Republican Party, highlighted by conflicts over the Epstein investigation and federal deployment policies. Former operative Stuart Stevens details how Trump maintains near-absolute control while his base relies heavily on a shrinking demographic cohort. The Lincoln Project aims to exploit these internal tensions to discourage pro-Trump votes by appealing to reluctant Republicans and independents.

Project 2025 is a very aggressive doctrine to destroy our constitution, bill of rights and rule of law and is no different than a foreign adversary.
Nobody, remodels unless they plan on staying. Where are the files!
Keep em cracking and RELEASE THE FILES. Salute comrades, keep ya head up. ✌️.
Speaker Johnson should be removed from the house of representative now he must step down as speaker
it's not just Mike Johnson that's blocking the release. It's also all the republicans who are voting against it. We only need to flip one more republican. List all their names and publicly shame them.
The shutdown IS revealing how serious Republican commitment to cutting healthcare actually is. This WILL hurt them!
Release the files. That is what the people want. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES !
Thank you to Mr. Stevens for his continued effort to shed light on the reality of what the Republican party is.
So there's no money to feed people but there's money to demolish...
I'm a Democrat and I approve all of the Lincolns project ads
