THE LINCOLN PROJECT Embargoed for: Contact: Tuesday, May, 12, 2020 Keith Edwards, 646-334-7929, [email protected] Press Release / Media Availability The Lincoln Project Expands Viral Ad "Mourning In America" to Target More Voters in Swing States: Ohio, Florida, and Wisconsin Tues., May 12, 2020 — The Lincoln Project today expanded the ad buy for “Mourning in America” — which so far has generated more than 20 million impressions among voters and the ire of President Trump — to four more cities, in three swing states. “Mourning in America" contrasts Ronald Reagan's 1984 iconic and optimistic political ad "Morning in America" with the devastation brought on by the Trump presidency. This next ad buy by the Lincoln Project will target voters in Wausau, WI; La Crosse WI; Columbus, OH; and Fort Meyers, FL. The Lincoln Project founders George Conway, Reed Galen, Jennifer Horn, Mike Madrid, Ron Steslow, John Weaver, Rick Wilson, Sarah Lenti, are available for comment. In 1984 Ronald Reagan’s campaign launched an iconic and memorable political ad called “Morning in America.” ‘Morning’ highlighted the positive impact of a first term Reagan presidency and presented an optimistic vision of an America that was prosperous and peaceful. Under Donald Trump, we instead face “Mourning in America.” “The Lincoln Project video highlights the effects of President Trump’s failure as a President and how he’s left the nation weaker, sicker, and teetering on the verge of a new Great Depression. In a time of deep suffering and loss, Donald Trump continues with his failed leadership and his inability to put the country before himself,” said Jennifer Horn, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “Americans are not only mourning the loss of each other, they are mourning the loss of their routine, families, and livelihoods. Trump and his administration failed at every turn to take the response to COVID-19 seriously until it was too late; now we face a collective mourning for the America we once knew.” President Trump waited until March 13, 2020 to declare a national emergency in response to the coronavirus threat. On March 15th he declared that the virus was “something we have tremendous control over.” .

Media Analysis of the US Election: August 2020 Insights from Pressrelations 2020 Introduction
2020 Media Analysis of the US Election: August 2020 Insights from pressrelations 2020 Introduction In cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIE and NewsGuard, pressrelations is conducting am in-depth media analysis that sheds light on the role of disinformation in the 2020 US election. Time window of the qualitative analysis Link to the InfoBoard The basis for this quantitative, fully automated media analysis is formed by 426 online media sources from five countries. The data from 16 of those media sources was coded by pressrelations analysts, according to qualitative criteria. The selected media sources included eight US media sources and eight online media sources from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (D-A-CH), which were analyzed for the period from August 1 to August 31, 2020. In addition, TV coverage of CNN, FOX News and ARD was examined. 9/24/2020 PAGE 2 2020 Methodology This analysis includes the assessment and mapping of the media landscape from different perspectives and is based on extensive data collection from media reports made public on the Internet or on TV channels. The amount of news about the 2020 US election campaign is immense. The volume of articles therefore made it necessary to restrict the media set to a few select media sources. The selection of media was based on the potential reach and the volume of contributions of the respective sources. Despite this restriction, a total of 13,203 posts were coded in August alone. All articles that addressed at least one of the four candidates running for the American presidency and vice presidency were examined.

Friday, July 10Th, 2020 TO: Interested Parties FROM: Reed Galen RE: State of the Race “Over These Next 11 Months, Our Efforts
Friday, July 10th, 2020 TO: Interested Parties FROM: Reed Galen RE: State of the Race “Over these next 11 months, our efforts will be dedicated to defeating President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box and to elect those patriots who will hold the line. We do not undertake this task lightly, nor from ideological preference. We have been, and remain, broadly conservative (or classically liberal) in our politics and outlooks. Our many policy differences with national Democrats remain, but our shared fidelity to the Constitution dictates a common effort.” The Lincoln Project The New York Times December 17, 2019 The Lincoln Project launched six months ago in a different time and place in America. The country was preparing to experience its third impeachment trial in the history of the United States. The impeachment of President Donald J. Trump for abuse of power ended in political farce as Mitch McConnell and his supine Senate majority looked away from the clear evidence that President Trump had extorted a foreign government to assist his re-election. It is in that context, and the previous three years of Trump’s administration that The Lincoln Project began its efforts with a clear message: To rid American politics of Donald Trump and Trumpism in the November general election. At that moment, saving the Republic from the worst of Trump’s behavior was paramount. That goal was ambitious, but we knew even then that it would be an uphill fight. As the coronavirus made its way to our shores, Donald Trump’s inability to lead changed our outlook on how to conduct our efforts against him.

Financial Times: Diehard Trump Republicans on Collision Course
Diehard Trump Republicans on collision course with US business Companies reconsider support and funding for politicians who back overturning of election result Diehard Trump Republicans on collision course with US business | Financial Times (ft.com) Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson in New York and James Politi and Courtney Weaver in Washington Wednesday, January 6, 2021 Republicans supporting Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election are on a collision course with US business leaders, as companies reconsider support and funding for politicians they deem to be a threat to national stability. The decision by 13 Republican senators to join most House Republicans in refusing to certify Joe Biden’s victory on Wednesday was quickly denounced by business groups, whose leaders voiced alarm at the threat it posed to a democracy that most had taken for granted. Their action “undermines our democracy and the rule of law”, warned the US Chamber of Commerce, as a small business coalition blasted the “shameful complicity” of elected officials trying to help Mr Trump “undermine the will of the voters”. Attempts to thwart the orderly transfer of power to Mr Biden ran “counter to the essential tenets of our democracy”, added more than 180 New York executives including Accenture’s Julie Sweet, BlackRock’s Larry Fink and KKR’s Henry Kravis. Pointedly, several of the statements argued that indulging baseless conspiracy theories — including that Mr Biden only won thanks to mass voter fraud — was bad for business at a time when executives want Washington to tackle the economic fallout from Covid-19. Sowing further distrust in the political system “threatens the economic recovery .

Embracing Creative Transience: from Political Remix Video to Digital Collage
Media-N | The Journal of the New Media Caucus Winter 2021: Volume 17, Issue 1, Pages 99–129 Media-N | ISSN: 1942-017X Embracing Creative Transience: From Political Remix Video to Digital Collage DIRAN LYONS Assistant Professor, Porterville College ABSTRACT In this essay, I explore my latest series of digital collages titled Notes and Narratives. These works utilize additive, subtractive, and substitutive remix strategies to integrate Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque paintings with visages of Donald Trump and his associates. The series appropriates historical masterworks to interrelate the theologico-political foundations of the original paintings with the political turbulence experienced under the Trump administration. Notes and Narratives foregrounds remix as a powerful and potent tool for disruption, change, and communication in the continuum of pedagogic praxes and remix studies. My previous artistic work was dedicated to creating political remix videos, and this body of work represents a fork in my creative practice. The immediacy of the collages draws upon intertextuality and remix strategies to reveal passionate polemical positions, positing contentious criticisms of the political leadership in the United States. INTRODUCTION I encountered Jorge Luis Borges’s short story “The Garden of Forking Paths” for the first time in 2003, while pursuing graduate studies in the Department of Art at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Borges’s ideas were routinely integrated into discussions about interactive digital media, video art, and film studies. Many of the UCSB faculty shared a scholarly fascination with, if not fervent commitment to, a philosophical lexicon derived from thinkers like Leibniz, Nietzsche, and Deleuze that explores a reverberant interconnectivity of time, events, and the immanence of creative potential.

Studying the Memers Among Trump Supporters in the 2020 US Presidential Election on Twitter Via Hashtags #Maga and #Trump2020
“Make A-meme-rica great again!”: Studying the memers among Trump supporters in the 2020 US presidential election on Twitter via hashtags #maga and #trump2020 by Huu Dat Tran B.S., Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City, 2018 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2021 Approved by: Major Professor Jacob Groshek, PhD. Copyright © Huu Dat Tran 2021. Abstract The study, consisting of three parts and based on the theoretical framework of social network analysis, political spamming, and framing theory, analysed a corpus of 220,336 tweets from 96,820 unique users posted on Twitter between October 27 and November 2, 2020. It investigates the participation of social media, particularly Twitter, and internet memes in political discourse, positioning such concepts in the political context of the 2020 US presidential election. The study attempts to better understand Donald Trump, his community of supporters, and their political discourse and activities during the 2020 US presidential election; thus, an investigation into their Twitter social network should prove fruitful. By probing into the community of supporters of the incumbent Donald Trump, specifically the group of internet memers (an internet slang describing people who create or distribute memes), on Twitter during the 2020 US presidential election, the study reveals the most active and influential users within the network, the likelihood of those users being spamming bots, and their tweets’ content. Such analysis is relevant in understanding Twitter users related to the hashtags, their affiliations, and the nature of such accounts.
