Apparently they are planning a Pod Save America-style online media platform.
Why fix what isn't broken:
While the Lincoln Project failed to generate significant Republican defections, the effort has been a financial windfall for GOP operatives.
Earlier this year, the group was lampooned by Stephen Colbert’s cartoon show for spending so much money on overhead rather than on ads. By the end of September, the group had funneled $4.5 million through Summit Strategic Communications, run by the group’s co-founder Reed Galen. The group also reported paying $3.9 million to Tusk Digital, led by another Lincoln Project co-founder, Ron Steslow.
Imagining traveling back in time to see the look on liberals' faces after revealing to them that two elections later they'd be paying $70 million to the man who introduced the world to Sarah Palin
or do they court moderate dems.

They only ever were courting moderate Dems, and they were very good at it.

The Lincoln Project raised a whopping $39 million from July through September, helping fuel its anti-Trump ad blitz.

These people are off the rails
It's getting very worrisome.
I know, it really is. While I think it's highly unlikely they will actually come to anything like a successful coup, what it most definitely will do is continue this false narrative of fake results for his base to lap up. That was always going to be the case anyway, but this is gasoline on the fire.
It's just unconscionable
The best-case scenario I see is that this is all to keep the GA electorate fired up for the special election. The worst is virtually unthinkable.
Sadly, the latter is being talked about by people who claim to be Christian leaders. It's disgusting.

What I'm saying is that this does not show causality.
If you wanted to make that claim, you'd have to show that the more progressive candidates were not in more liberal swing districts where they would tend to be favored by party ID to start with.
The candidates with the most conservative rhetoric probably ran in the more conservative swing districts. I would expect them, on balance, to lose more than they win. Think a less extreme version of Doug Jones in Alabama here.
I would argue that the causal arrow chains probably run like this: district ideology -> candidate expressed ideology and district ideology -> electoral prospects. Interpreting the graph as you do implicitly assumes that the causal arrow runs candidate expressed ideology -> electoral prospects (with a weak effect), and I do not believe that is correct.
Unfortunately the polls seem to have not been too reliable at accurately assessing Trump supporters views
Wait, you mean a bunch of Republicans who made effective anti-Trump commercials had ulterior motives? I'm quite shocked.Apparently they are planning a Pod Save America-style online media platform.

Oh, boy. Not typically a fan of other politicos taking shots at Texas but given this is at the odious pro-life fraud who was willing to sell out old ladies and gentlemen for the economy, like any good Christopublican, it's a rather delicious bit of shade:
