The latest Lincoln Project video was released on Thursday. It runs through some of the powerful and uplifting moments delivered by recent presidents —both Democrat and Republican — before landing on the lack of decency and hateful rhetoric of the current occupant of the White House.

According to the group’s website, the ad will be airing in swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio. One of the co-founders of The Lincoln Project expressed why it was “imperative” that Biden is elected in November:

“Joe Biden is a strong, caring leader who can guide us out of the hell Americans find ourselves in.”

Twitter users apparently agree with this assessment. The video was shared over 20,000 times after only being up a couple of hours.

Many tears were shed

The overwhelming majority of responses included an admission of tears while watching the new ad.

Sitting here in tears. Thank you so much for helping us in this fight to a return to decency and saving our country.

I’m bawling my eyes out.
We need to return to decency.
Setting politics aside, in times of crisis, we need a leader who can empathize. We need a leader who can console. We need a leader to cry with & to lean on.
We haven’t had that in trump. Never will. He’s not capable of that.

Everyone is ready for a return to basic human decency.

Let’s restore America as the leader in decency again!

I’m not a fan of Reagan. But what he said about the Challenger astronauts made me cry and really touched me. Trump is incapable of that human decency. We have to bring it back. We need Biden now.

The “Blue Wave” is headed straight for the White House, and The Lincoln Project is helping it pick up a lot of first-time voters on the way.

It’ll be my first time ever voting blue. The country needs effective leadership not dictatorship.

As a lifelong Independent until 2018…

With tears in my eyes
A lump in my throat
And gratitude to @ProjectLincoln …

I say…
Shame on every single Republican who still defends and supports tRUmp.

We The People will bury your Party this November.

Twitter users agree: money donated to the Lincoln Project is money well spent.

Our monthly contribution to @ProjectLincoln is so worth it. Thanks from the bottom of this life long Democrat’s heart - I volunteered for McGovern as a 12 year old. Thank you for fighting for America, @TheRickWilson , @jwgop , @stuartpstevens , @gtconway3d .
