1. Incongruous and Counter Intuitive

Apart from the obvious incongruity regarding voting Cheney's record of not regarded as important, but rather it is the cult of personality and fealty to TFG that is the end all and be all. I'm trying to wrap mind around how the Cheney Legacy lost (apparently) so much influence in Wyoming's political machine.

For decades, as it appeared from my perch as a West Coast Liberal activist back in the day, Cheney's name held sway in that state as much as it did on the national front. For decades. And now it's come this? What the hell happened there?

I've only done a drive through the beautiful state of Wyoming some years ago. But I have made the acquaintance with people from Wyoming from time to time over my life, and I just didn't ever see folks as being that effed up on the level of My Pillow Guy, etc.

Conservative, absolutely. But that far wacko? No, I can't say I saw this coming vis a vis Wyoming Electorate.

I'm looking at this as a five alarm signal. No doubt it will get exponentially worse there if we as a country don't get a handle on it, and i'm not at all sure how that would/could be accomplished.
