Does the Lincoln Project Carry more Weight than the Family of the Dead?

I saw on X that the Lincoln Project was upset with Trump taking a photo with a family by the grave. (Not really wanting to give them any clicks, you can go look that up if you want to.) I saw the image below on Facebook. It makes me ask the question: does the Lincoln Project carry more weight than the Family of the Dead?

Seems to me, the controversy stirred up is just that: stirred up. God Bless the Families. God Bless Trump for being there. God Bless America.

    The controversy was manufactured to obscure the fact that Biden and Cackling Kamala barely bothered to acknowledge the humiliating skedaddle from Afghanistan, the 13 Marines who were killed under their watch, the hundreds of American citizens left behind, and the tens of thousands of Afghan commandos and others who were abandoned. They want everyone to forget that Trump did honor the memory of the Marines killed.

    Joe, and Kamala (the last one in the room) would like you to forget that those Marines died for a sound bite about the end of our occupation of Afghanistan on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. That sound bite in the end couldn't be delivered because of the revulsion it would have inspired.

    Biden wasn't there because Joe isn't, strictly speaking, anywhere anymore. Harris wasn't there because the new strategy is for her to avoid being "tethered" to the Biden-Harris administration.

    In the end who carries the most weight? Those on the fence that wasn’t sure if they could pull the lever and vote for him and then decided a thumbs up over a grave was a bridge too far.

    That may not be fair in your thinking, but that’s the reality.

    "Those on the fence who weren't sure..."

    No charge for the grammar correction. Just want to make sure your speech is accurate.

    IOW, the rest of us are always at the mercy of fools and the naive.
