Straight face
Pro tip. If you don’t want a fascist like Trump running for President don’t cast fascist support votes while he’s in office.
Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney says that Trump is an aberration and not the Republican Party.[1] She said that with a straight face. Since she voted MAGA 93% of the time I can’t help but wonder what that 7% aberration might be exactly since she supported Orange Jesus for 4 years.[2] Supporting a fascist 93% of the time is okay but 100% is just a bridge too far?
Good golly Miss Molly, Cheney, look around and take stock of the people that kicked you out of leadership in congress and then voted you out of office. Trump is the Republican Party. It is now the MAGA Party.
MAGA is an aberration.
The fine Nazi.
After the Charlottesville riot Trump said that some Nazis are very fine people. Now I know that people have said that the transcript of what he said doesn’t support that. Here’s the < transcript >.[3] https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/apr/26/context-trumps-very-fine-people-both-sides-remarks/ Orange Jesus danced around the words pretty good but he really ended up with some Nazis being very fine people that were standing up for the Lost Cause Confederates.[4]
Orange Jesus is probably not the best person at this inflection point to advance the fascist cause, though he did an outstanding job of kicking it off. OJ has too many toddler impulses and he just isn’t as bright as some of the MAGA Trump wannabes waiting in the wings.
MAGA Republicans seeking office have to have MAGA votes to get elected.
They will be MAGA fascists.
Oath challenged.
Cheney and her compatriots spent 4 years enabling Trump and encouraging more MAGA Heads into the fold. Then the Orange Jesus staged an attempted coup. And the coup attempt wasn’t just what happened on January 6th. OJ had the coup plotting in progress before the 2020 election even took place. What’s more he wanted to use the military to keep him in power.
If Cheney’s truly worried about our democracy, then she should accept the reality of where she and those like her led the party to MAGA. If she wants to be serious about her oath and allegiance to America, she needs to reject being a Lost Cause Republican completely and utterly by not voting for any Republican ever again.
Period.
