Liz Cheney’s neoconservatism is dead

That said, Why did Cheney even bother running for re-election, in a state that voted more heavily for Trump than any other, twice? What is characterised in the press as a “split” in the Republican Party — between Trump’s supporters on one hand, and conventional Republicans on the other — in fact is not a schism or factional matter at all. It more closely resembles an ice floe upon which the decrepit and useless remnant of the party has been set adrift.

The neoconservatives who proudly announced that they would vote for Biden in 2020 because they put “country over party”, now await smugly in their splendid palace of principle for the rest of the Republicans, having come to their senses, to slink shamefully back, asking for guidance. But they wait in vain. Mainstream Republican voters, even if they don’t especially love Trump, embrace the program of the new GOP: no new wars, law and order, an end to Wokeness in public schools, and sensible pro-family policies that don’t include intentional immiseration of the middle class through exponentially inflated energy costs.

Sometimes I’m a reluctant republican. But I believe God holds us responsible for our vote. There is no excuse for voting for the godless democratic pArty today. I just don’t believe the “almost best” is the worst enemy

I always vote Republican, even when they are repugnant. Even the repugnant will not make me vote for the Democrats. But if all you got from my post is that, then I failed.

Liz Cheney’s neocon roots and mindset have been replaced by NeoLiberalism. She should just fit right in-—it’s a lateral move...let her enjoy the very transient pleasures of being a turncoat/traitor to the best aspects of her party-—but it will dawn on her some day that her notoriety will be short-lived, as will consist in holding her up as a “Republican who had a crisis of conscience” and , for what it’s worth.....”One of us” when she flips Democrat.
