I think the Lincoln Project is already irrelevant, even if they don't know it yet. Most conservatives view them as unreliable - and, in fact, several members of the LP have already changed their party affiliation to Democratic. Few if any of them will be be able to find work with a Republican moving forward. It's not just that they opposed Trump - it's that they went full cancel culture on those who supported Trump's re-election. And the Democrats don't trust them, either - they're like the '70s American peaceniks who moved to the Soviet Union to show their solidarity - when they got there after a big splash of initial media coverage, most of them were quietly "disappeared" by the Soviets - who didn't trust them, either. Ultimately, most of the LP participants didn't come across as principled patriots taking a tough stand so much as lightweight opportunists.
If the Republicans retake the House in two years, it will be interesting to see what, if any, role the LP plays.
