For fucks sake, stop trying to make Liz Cheney sound rational.
She's just mad trump stopped her pulling a GW and doing the same fucked up shit her daddy did.
Liz Cheney would do all the horrible shit trump did, she'd just be better at hiding the reasons and thusly wouldn't be held accountable.
That's the morbidly hilarious part about Trump. He would probably have gotten away with everything, if he had simply learned the art of shutting the fuck up.
It's what I hate about people acting like trump is as worse as it can get it.
The guys a fucking idiot.
But every single republican (and unfortunately a non negligible amount of Dem) politicians want the same shit.
They just know which parts to whisper and which to shout.
When the day finally comes when trump is no longer the Republican nominee, the next one will likely be worse. Even if they don't want worse things, they'll be better at accomplishing the same goals trump had.
And the same people that fund trump will fund the next one too.
This ain't a short term problem, it's been going on for decades and will continue to do so if we keep fighting them the same way
That's like Trump's monkey paw wish. If he shut up, he wouldn't have won to begin with. It's his strongest and weakest trait politically.
