In a Parody of the X-Files, The Lincoln Project Produces "Unintelligent Life"

 In perhaps one of their funniest ads, The Lincoln Project, in a parody of The X-Files, released an ad yesterday called "Unintelligent Life."


With The X-Files theme music playing in the background and the premise of aliens looking for intelligent life here on Earth, the ad goes after the fringiest of the political world including:

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for saying the pharmaceutical industry, through the drugs they create, is making us all slaves.
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene for saying "Q is a patriot" who believes many "in the government are worshipping Satan."
  • Kari Lake is quoted as saying the people in the world of reality are "living on Planet Crazy."
  • Mark Lindell for his claims that the computers controlling the elections were rigged.
  • A Fox panelist said the United States was not founded on the backs of slaves and the notion of white supremacy. The Fox panelist apparently has not recently looked at the portraits of all the white men presenting the Declaration of Independence or the United States Constitution. 

The ad concludes with an alien reporting to his or her superiors, "no intelligent life found.."

That appears to be certainly true when one considers that a significant portion of the Republican electorate is still backing Donald Trump despite his checkered past including:

  • Being found liable for sexual assault.
  • Attempting to overthrow the 2020 Presidential Election. 
  • Being indicted twice with new charges piling on him with two more indictments possibly on the way.
  • Getting impeached twice.
  • Mismanaging the country during the Coronavirus.
  • Widespread business failures and potential fraud.
  • Earning the endorsement of KKK Leader David Duke twice.
  • Losing the popular vote twice. 

The ad has a point.
