Liz Cheney doesn't rule out presidential bid, calls Donald Trump 'the single most dangerous threat'
Remember the good old days when Cheney was the worst Republican?
Which is really saying something, isn’t it?
Like, the fact that she’s a “good” one and that so many of the Republicans still hate her just tells you such much about the Grand Old Party. But, they knew Trump was going to destroy them and let it happen anyway, so whatever.
Oddly she is more conservative than the conservative loving Maga crazies but since she doesn't kneel in front of Trump...
The difference is that while Cheney is "the worst" there was this idea, impractical as it is, that you could change their opinion.
Let's take for example Liz Cheney's view on same sex marriage, specifically in relation with her sister Mary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Cheney#Dispute_with_Liz_Cheney
Liz was against it. Liz was called out. Her sister and her fought for what looks like 10 years. Liz admits she was wrong.
Yes, it took the classic "I'm against it until it affects me" routine, but her opinion changed.
The "worst" Republicans of the past are that. Someone I disagree with fully, but given enough time can be convinced to change their mind.
(Also as a quick aside that doesn't mean that Republicans are "always wrong" or Democrats are "always right", it's to show that a production conversation can happen.)
If you look at the MAGA Republican that isn't the case. Trump has "never been wrong" and will never admit fault.
The funniest example of this being the development of COVID vaccines. Trump led Operating Warp Speed to get the COVID vaccines in record time (ignore if this is true or not, that's the belief). But who are the most unlikely to get COVID vaccines? MAGA Republicans. Trump even tried to convince them, but was booed for it. The one time Trump was actually correct he was booed. Trump can't be wrong so he's shut up about it ever since.
I disagree. The funniest example of Trump never admitting he's wrong is definitely the Four Seasons Landscaping press release.
Her opinion changed cause suddenly it started to personally affect her.
That doesnt make her a good person, or a good politician.
We don't need politicians that only change positions when things personally affect them.
Thats why we're in the situation with the country as it is, because 99% of problems in America will never personally affect them... cause they'll always have the money, access, and power to overcome or bypass it without issue or headache.
