I am beginning to think that campaigns assume we are stupid or we are all stupid - including those running campaigns. Did the promoters of today's hoax actually think people would believe the tiki-bearers were white supremacists? If it were a statement/reminder then why did the McAuliffe campaign promote these paid operatives as genuine? Lincoln Project is a cesspool of self-interested sycophants, and I actually think some have switched over to the D party.
In these cases, I think people should follow the money - why does the Lincoln Project exist? Some have gotten very rich - why? how?
