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.


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.


In arguably the most hilarious comparison, the thread shows a slithering pair of villains.

South Carolina GOP Senator Lindsey Graham and his villain lookalike, Randall Boggs from Monster's Inc.



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.


Even Fox News pundits like Sean Hannity got the Disney villain treatment.



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.

Iranian state media and health officials said the strike occurred early Saturday morning in Minab, in the country’s southern Hormozgan Province. Journalists from international news organizations have not been granted access to independently verify the reported death toll or the circumstances surrounding the strike.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

Employees in commission-based positions are feeling increasingly pressured to acquire new clients, retain previous clients, and solve the issues their clients call in about with high satisfaction ratings.

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
