A viral Twitter thread from The Lincoln Project—a group of Republicans and former Republicans critical of the direction taken by the GOP in the Trump era—is showcasing a hilarious collection of side-by-sides pairing members of the GOP with their Disney villain doppelgängers.
Kicking off the line-up was Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis and his partner in crime Ursula, the octopus lady who stole Ariel's voice in The Little Mermaid.
The resemblance is uncanny.

This isn't fair to Ursula. She was a businesswoman and she was upfront about the terms and conditions of the contract.— Jax \u26a1\ufe0fPhilosopher Queen (@Jax \u26a1\ufe0fPhilosopher Queen) 1649290423
Next up is Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott alongside Jafar, the long-faced menace that plagued Aladdin.
Twins!

The following duo is Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio and Iago, described by Disney Fandom as "a sarcastic, loud-mouthed, and short-tempered parrot" from Aladdin.
Then Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz beside his extremely accurate villain counterpart, Syndrome–the pesky villain in Disney's The Incredibles who suffers from a Napolean complex.

They're all good, but this one hits different. I think it may be the insane head proportions for me— Taylor (@Taylor) 1649268419
In arguably the most hilarious comparison, the thread shows a slithering pair of villains.

Also worth noting is the most spot-on pairings, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Hades from Hercules and GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Turkey Lurkey from Chicken Little.

Hades is quite well-known beyond Disney as the God of the Underworld from Greek mythology. According to Disney Fandom, Mr. Lurkey is famous for sipping tea and discussing the things wrong with the world.
The consensus from Twitter users?
The thread is a riot.
I'm literally going to fall off my chair. Stop!— Lisa Asselin \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2\ud83d\udc9e\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Lisa Asselin \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2\ud83d\udc9e\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1649268664
Ok, I wanna know who got this task assigned to them because it's pretty damn funny!— Lisa Asselin \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2\ud83d\udc9e\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Lisa Asselin \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2\ud83d\udc9e\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1649268607
Even Fox News pundits like Sean Hannity got the Disney villain treatment.

I'm in heaven with this thread.— Brown Eyed Susan\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Brown Eyed Susan\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1649278923
All these gave me a much needed laugh because they are pretty much accurate on the GOP members you posted!— Amethyst (@Amethyst) 1649269330
The thread is filled with comments saying, "spot on," "uncanny" and "perfect."
Many other Twitter users just flooded the comment section with laughing emojis.
The GOP and Disney found themselves at odds after the House of Mouse finally spoke out against the Florida GOP sponsored and DeSantis signed "Don't Say Gay" law. Since then, several members of the GOP have targeted Disney.
