Legacy Republicans
Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and her dad still haven’t figured out that their Republican Party is gone, gone, gone and it isn’t coming back. It’s the MAGA Republican Party now and the only reason that “Republican” is still in the name is because of the amount of paperwork it would take to change the name. Maybe when things settle down.
I refer to the Cheneys and those like them as legacy Republicans.[1] They’re holdovers resisting the purge that is taking place in the MAGA Party and that they are powerless to stop. Doesn’t matter. They’ll still vote the ‘Party’ line. It’s what they do. In the 2020 presidential election there were enough legacy Republican voters that broke ranks and voted against the rapist Trump because of all the unnecessary deaths he caused during the pandemic to ensure his loss. Many still voted for Trump enablers further down on the ballot around the country. Like them, the Cheneys are still going to vote Republican.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) now has voted Nepo MAGA Laura Trump to its top spot.[2] She is not in the least qualified for the position other than being a part of the Trump family and loyal to Trump. I mean seriously, even she should know that she has zero qualifications for the job. After the RNC dumped previous chair Rona McDaniel another 60 legacy Republicans were also purged for not being sufficiently loyal to Dear Leader. Legacy Republicans are being purged all over the country.
Sieg MAGA!
Making MAGA
A legacy is defined as “the long-lasting impact of particular events, action, etc. that took place in the past.” Trump is the Republicans’ legacy. He is where the Republican Party, Evangelicals and White Christian Nationalists have been headed for decades as they fueled one conspiracy after another and became a disinformation machine devoid of honesty, honor and integrity. It is now the party that racists and bigots can support. Then along came Trump. And if hadn’t been Trump it would have been another one just like him or worse.
For all of her current blow in media Liz Cheney is one of the many Trump enablers. She supported the rapist Trump’s policies and actions 93% of the time with her votes.[3] Same for her daddy, who set some dishonesty records all his own when he was Vice President. So as they go about the country now telling people what a danger the rapist Trump is to democracy they need to remember one thing if nothing else.
They set the stage.
Second coming.
Apologists like Liz and Dick Cheney, Mike Pence and other Republicans having their come-to-Jesus moments nevertheless have yet to take actual responsibility for their own words and actions that led to Trump’s election in 2016 and the attempted coup of January 6, 2021.
That’s their real legacy.
