Former congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming is the poster child of a Republican establishment abandoned by the party’s far-right base. Now, she’s billboarding what may come next: In an interview with CBS aired Sunday, Cheney lamented the extent to which the Republican Party had been “co-opted” by Trumpism and said she feared the potential of a vengeful Trump presidency in 2025.
“One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of a sleepwalking into dictatorship in the United States,” Cheney said.
Cheney’s refusal to accept former president Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from him — and her decision to publicly rebuke Trump for his role in stoking the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — got her ostracized from the GOP and cost her the House seat. She has spent the months since campaigning against his potential reelection, to little avail. Trump is the heavy favorite to emerge as the Republican presidential nominee, no matter the slew of legal cases against him and even the prospect of imprisonment.
In her CBS interview, Cheney said a Trump victory could mark the end of the American republic. “He’s told us what he will do,” she said. “It’s very easy to see the steps that he will take.”

I despise Bezos due to his ownership of the WP.
Get that? SHE was abandoned by the base, not the other way around.
Leftist worried? Sure, like they don’t cheat? Happens every time.
The Marxists are trying to make 2024 all about Trump and not about Meat Puppet.
100% agree the election shouldn't be about Trump and his promises of "vengeance" but about who can best fix America's many problems.
Actually, we have gone down the rabbit hole so far already, it is going to take a dictator to clean this mess up by imposing martial law and rounding up all the quislings in our government and the media and various other institutions.
Who determines who should be dictator? You? If we appoint a dictator to deal with emergencies, then that dictator, whoever he is, will have every incentive to keep the emergencies going to stay in office. I'll stick with elections and the US Constitution, thanks.
Id rather have a dictator that keeps this country and the world SAFE than a brain dead child molesting diaper wearing buffoon who does the bidding of his puppet masters
Even if dictator Trump could usher in a new era of American prosperity (a big if, given that his first term finished with a $1 trillion deficit, an unfinished border wall, and government bureaucrats pushing a lethal vaccine on the American people without consequences), who could we trust with those powers after Trump dies? I'm sticking with the Constitution and the sort of small-r republican government favored by the Founding Fathers.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"- Benjamin Franklin. If we don't have the right to vote, we have no way of changing our government should it fall into the wrong hands.
When is someone in the GOP going to go after Crazy Liz?
Why would they bother? She lost her election and is a private citizen now. Her political career is dead.
Each new thing raises him in the polls.
The polls of Republican voters, yes. As for the general election I'll reserve judgment until closer to the time, so I don't make a fool of myself, like when I predicted Trump would win 2020 by a landslide.
The biggest and most well developed talent of the Uniparty, Rinos and Democrats alike, it to continue to spin out this narrative which is pure PROJECTION-—as the creaky wheel turns towards a total UPSIDE DOWN configuration, the idea is accuse them of things you’ve already done, in order to hydraulically remove the onus and blame off your own shoulders.
“so I don’t make a fool of myself, like when I predicted Trump would win 2020 by a landslide.”
Don’t sell yourself short. He did win by a landslide... legally. You were right.
I now identify as we.
I agree, but why does Trump play into this idea to the extent he does?
His father, Shashi Tharoor, is a Indian Congress party stalwart, known to be a corrupt far-leftist who murdered his wife, but got away with it due to his political connections.
but it’s THEIR BRAIN DEAD dictator..
What do you call what we have now loser-Liz?
They’re setting up the propaganda to justify any stochastic attack against Trump and ... AND ... his supporters.
They’re not faking anything.
They’re lying for a very serious and very specific purpose.
