To begin with, they paid for two advertisements in one of Trumpism\u2019s favorite places, Fox News, and specifically in the shows <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fox &amp; Friends<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesse Watters Tonight<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the morning and evening, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this infomercial, Chuck, a former Trumpist, is seen saying the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am from the state of Nebraska and I am a former Trump supporter.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hold him completely responsible for the <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/tag\/asalto-al-capitolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i>Capitol insurrection<\/i><\/b><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Trump invited those people. He invited them knowing who were going to show up, and he is 100% responsible for what happened that day\u2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I will vote Democrat. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying it. But I will not ever support or vote for Donald Trump ever. I\u2019ll vote for Joe Biden.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And on the RVAT website, a second expresses:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hello, I\u2019m David and I\u2019m from Madison, Wisconsin. I was an alternate delegate to the 2016 National Republican Convention in Cleveland. I did vote for Donald Trump in 2020, never again. I think he disqualified himself by leading the insurrection on January 6th.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He led the mob against the Constitution really in trying to overturn a duly elected president. He lost, and January 6th is a disgrace, a stain on our history.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m a conservative Republican and I believe in the rule of law. I believe in the Constitution, and I believe in free and open elections, and being a good loser when you lose. Donald Trump lost.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And a third:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi, I am Dennis. I\u2019m from Wichita, Kansas. I\u2019m a prior service member who voted for Donald Trump in 2016, but I can\u2019t ever bring myself to do that again. I really did support Donald Trump up until probably January 6th. That\u2019s when I really learned what he was all about, and I saw that he was really trying to keep the power, regardless of the outcome of the elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He started by telling everybody that the election was gonna be stolen and then he insisted that it was stolen and everybody could see it wasn\u2019t stolen&#8230;\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donald Trump has said that he wants to terminate our constitution, the bedrock of our democracy.

In the elections that year they supported other candidates such as Hillary Clinton, the libertarian Gary Johnson, the independent conservative Evan McMullin and the candidate of the American Solidarity Party Mike Maturen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last Republican primaries served to give greater visibility to the Never Trumpers, verified in the Republicans who voted for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/opinion\/columnas\/camisa-al-codo\/nikki-haley-candidata-republicana-elecciones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Nikki Haley<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

And there were states where the candidate won the vote of 72% of moderate Republicans, beating Trump by approximately 3 to 1 in this social segment. In others, 83% of their voters said they would not consider Trump fit to hold office if convicted of a crime. In New Hampshire, for example, an analysis by the not exactly antiseptic Fox News found that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/fox-news-polling-data-reveals-large-percentage-of-new-hampshire-republicans-wont-vote-for-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>35% of Republican voters in that state<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would not vote for Trump in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above is particularly relevant at the national level, especially in battleground states, full of suburban Republican voters who continue to doubt Trump\u2019s return to the White House.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Club for Growth<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/adimpact.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Adimpacts<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, election spending is expected to exceed $10 billion in 2024, almost five times the amount spent in the 2016 cycle, in which $2.6 billion were spent on political ads. This represents a 15% increase from the previous record ($9 billion during the 2020 election cycle). \u201cSpending is expected to be $2.7 billion on political advertising this cycle,\u201d they conclude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For their part, anti-Trump Republican organizations have spared no money to try to keep him away from the White House. One of them is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubforgrowth.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Club for Growth<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a political action committee (PAC) founded in 1999 and an advocate of free market policies that support candidates aligned with its fiscally conservative principles. And they focus on tax cuts, limited government intervention and free market policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In spring 2023, this PAC began airing ads criticizing Trump\u2019s plan to fund Social Security. But it had a fairly modest success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Lincoln Project<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in December 2019 by moderate conservatives and former members of the Republican Party opposed to Trump, the Lincoln Project is, without a doubt, one of the most notable points of resistance to Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That year, four of its founders \u2014 George Conway, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver and Rick Wilson \u2014 announced the formation of the group in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The New York Times<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

While we are optimistic about the future, we are not complacent. In 2020, it took an ad-hoc coalition to ensure Trump\u2019s defeat. In 2022, we built a coalition across the political spectrum and again bought democracy some breathing room.
