Resistance GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is pretty sure that 'if Reagan and Lincoln were alive today,' they'd be his kind of 'RINOs'

Soon-to-be-former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger doesn’t have a whole lot of support from Republicans who are currently alive, but he’s quite confident that if he were to dig up some famous dead ones, they’d agree with him that liberal policies are the solution to our problems:

I think if Reagan and Lincoln were alive today, they would issue a joint statement telling people that vaccines work, infrastructure is good, and the electoral count act needs reformed. Maybe they are RINOS now, but I’d be proud to Join them.

We’re going to take a moment to note that the GOP isn’t inherently anti-vaccine, and that Kinzinger is vile for suggesting that it is.

And now that we’ve done that, we can focus on the heart of his argument: that if Zombie Ronald Reagan and Zombie Abraham Lincoln could pick a side, they’d pick Adam Kinzinger’s.

They would also do it standing next to the Millennium Falcon while saying "Wakanda Forever" https://t.co/KnWKpaRoH0

Painfully.

I think if Reagan and Lincoln were alive today, they would want you to leave them alone. https://t.co/REvmEKTkpE

I think if Reagan and Lincoln were alive today, they’d tell you to fix your errant grammar and capitalization. https://t.co/sb4rhGblJU

I think if Reagan and Lincoln were alive today, at the very least I'd ask them about those things before presuming I knew their opinion. In other words, I'd show some respect. https://t.co/REvmEKTkpE

You also suck at thinking. https://t.co/xLvImXU8p1

Look at me I'm super serious and claiming random fantasies of dead people agreeing with me. https://t.co/G6YEQGGYzn

90% of political commentary now just imagining situations in your head https://t.co/ebVGcLBzOb

You see this a lot in commentary related to legal cases, where the commentary amounts to "Sure I may be wrong, but if we imagine a world where the circumstances were exactly the way I want them to be then I would be right."

If Mother Theresa were alive today she'd agree with me on this btw

— Matt Palumbo (@MattPalumbo12) December 13, 2021

And she’d totally tell Adam Kinzinger to get over himself.

Any other fantasies you'd like to share? https://t.co/mDk04Ze05b

Keep them to yourself, Adam. We’re begging you.

And if Reagan and Lincoln were alive today, they’d agree with us.
