"You Can Only Choose One: America or Trump" Yard Sign, 2020
01
Artifact Overview
In 2020, the Lincoln Project--a coalition of former Republicans who saw President Trump as a threat to the party and the nation--emerged as a prominent voice against his reelection. Although they endorsed Joe Biden in April 2020, rather than promoting a single candidate, their non-traditional use of social media often framed their work as a fight for the preservation of America. This belief is echoed in their choice of name, and this yard sign.
