Proof positive that the cray cray have jumped the shark [View all]

I cannot stand Liz Cheney - as a progressive feminist she is the antipathy of everything I hold dear. Every single position she holds is position based on privilege and building power for powers sake. She stood for Trump and the awful fascistic administration he led for four years. That she is standing against the stealing of democracy now is good. That for once in her far right life she is speaking truth to the power that has turned the screws on her is good. And I agree with her. ’Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar' she said with not one hint of irony. 'I will not participate in that,’ she said. And good, of course she shouldn't, no-one who believes in the American experiment, justice and democracy should amplify and support the big lie.

Herein lies the rub. Cheney is horrible in her policy positions. But we can all agree that what she said on the floor last night is absolutely spot on. No-one, seemingly, has the courage of her convictions to stand with her against the authoritarian theocratic male pale and stale far right Trump worshipping cult that sits at the heart of the new GOP. How can they possibly move back to a governing position that is representative of a wider cohort than the bat shit cray cray membership driving the ongoing embrace of the big lie when they cannot cope with Liz frigging Cheney trying to the grown up in the room?

Beyond doubt I am very sure that this is the one and only time I will agree with anything that comes out of her gob, but on this she is right. The fact that the far right Cheney faces the chop for standing up to the big lie bollocks... shark...jump... GOP.
