I don’t hate Liz Cheney. In fact, I rather like her even if I might disagree with her on stuff. But many people who once cheered on the Cheney family now dance on her political grave and many of those who vilified the Cheney family now light candles for her sainthood.
Liz Cheney is just the latest victim of America’s political realignment. This is happening in both parties, but most visibly within the GOP. Cheney is not a bad person even as some must engage in post-modern emotional outbursts on Twitter to condemn her to show their own loyalty to their tribe. But the people of Wyoming aren’t bad either for deciding they want to move on and chart a new way forward beyond the Cheney dynasty.
We’re in a great political alignment and I personally think we need to be accommodating and graceful to everyone who finds themselves out of sorts and looking for their place in the American political landscape. Take a listen…
I completely agree with your assessment of the left and the realignment there and the media's complicity.
Trump being symptomatic of a real political realignment on the right is one thing. His despicable disregard for the Constitution is another thing altogether. To conflate them is to anesthetize your subscribers (and perhaps yourself?) to the need to keep him out of the White House. CONSERVATION of the Republic, the Constitution from which it arose, and the institutions created by it are more important.
Liz is so self-centered and thinks about Liz ONLY that she stinks. She forgot about who sent her to DC and wants to now run for President and show her Dad up and as noted by Paul C. make millions. We will undoubtedly see her again and I hope she gets the same results.
