Leftists, progressives, fawning over Lynn Cheney is ridiculous and disgusting.

    Trump is gone. Maybe to prison, probably broke.

    It's quite eye-opening that you see Cheney being traitorous to a man, but don't see the man being traitorous to the country. This is what makes Trumpism a personality cult.

    No, thats not what I said.

    I said "REAL Conservatives" don't bend the knee to fascism, bigotry and hate. They respect democracy, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly.

    at least I'd like to think so.

    Cheney is a TRUE Conservative.

    Let's see if her constituents are as well.

    Or maybe they are just lemmings, bowing to Herr Trumpfuhrer.

    Who cares what you think given you frequently throw around the claims of Republicans as Nazis.

    Lynne is his wife, Liz is his daughter. No Dem is fawning over her. Simply pointing out the factual accuracy of what she is saying about the election. And the depths to which Repubs are going to marginalize her because of it.

    Iraq...a minor war? The enormous ramifications are still being felt.

    Wait............was your post just an attempt at trolling?

    why do Republicans call anyone who disagrees with Trump, "vermin"?

    the Nazis called non-Germans "untermenschen". Kinda the same thing, huh?

    Dayton appears to be agitated over being reminded of Trump's lies and his gullibility in believing them.

    Then you're in agreement with LIZ Cheney. And you are in the same camp as the OP's left.

    That is the biggest problem in our National politics.

    It's everyone for themselves.
    To do that, they must put party above everything. Even lying to their voters.

    And anyone who dares to stand up for democracy, the USA, the Constitution that the party doesn't like. Gets blackballed.


    Left, right, center, those that stand up for country over party win for me everytime. Cowtowing a cult party is anti American. Our 2 parties in the country is Anti American.

    I think this is a very interesting thread. Because it illustrates one of the main differences between how our thinking process works.

    A right winger sees the world in black and white. It's either cult of personality, or character assassination. No room whatsoever for anything in between. Right wingers are just not mentally wired to comprehend this.

    The author of the OP finds it "disgusting" that we praise or criticize Liz Cheney... or ANY politician (Biden, Obama, Trump...) based on the merits of each individual action. What we find disgusting is the opposite: praising or criticizing actions base on WHO the person acting is, and not on the act itself.

    Our way of thinking is more difficult. It requires more mental effort. Because we have to analyze each action separately. Theirs is easy... they'll just look at WHO is acting, and their valuation is automatically made for them.

    Clearly she is a liar, so I do see how the DNC would pay much homage to her!!

    Whatever he traits the fact is that she’s acting counter to GOP goals and positions - and therefore is NOT a desirable leader of the GOP caucus. She ran and won election to her seat - that’s not being contested, but as the third highest Republican she should advocate and work for Republican goals.

    You have exactly the right attitude.

    I congratulate you.

    Cheney should be publicly humiliated, scorned and dragged through the mud.

    She should be an example to all those who even after the defeat of 2020 still dare to make any criticism of Trump.

    The more dissent is fought to keep Trump's cult of personality alive, the smaller the chances of ever taking back the WH.

    And as a liberal, I am very excited about that prospect.

    Can you tell me how not engaging in Trump's fantasy world where there has been a *planetary size level of election fraud conspiracy* goes against Republican goals?

    And so what are the Republicans' goals?

    To overturn Biden's election?

    Let Trump - a former Democrat - redefine what a conservative is?

    LOL, that’s total BS. Look around at the degree of Cancel Culture being imposed by leftists - you guys cause an All-Star baseball game to be relocated, for instance. LW influenced corporations are teaching their employees to be “less white”. Lefties are the most rigid, hidebound, “my way or the highway” people.
    And Cheney IS being punished for specific acts.
    Your way of thinking is “more difficult”!! Are you serious - as I said above you guys are most tightly constrained, toe-the-line, black or white (mostly black, recently) ideologues that exist.

    This isn’t about Trump. The fact that he IS a FORMER DEMOCRAT speaks well for him, I, myself are a former Democrat.
    As fare as “overturning Biden’s election” The is discussed and brought far more often by you lefties these days. Your post is a case in point.

    Republican goals remind free markets, low taxes, minimum regulation and maximum personal freedom. We support equality, not equity. I doubt many lefties understand the difference.

    I don't fawn, I lust and I don't care who she is married to, as far as her politics I know nothing of...
