This insane advertisement that Rep. Liz Cheney (R.W.Y.) published featured Dick Cheney, her father. Cheney asserts that no one has ever posed greater threat to our country in its 246-year history than Donald Trump.

Now, I noted how unhinged that was, how she’s pulling out the wrong card throwing this out there in the last days of the campaign, thinking that’s somehow going to help her in her campaign in Wyoming. If anything, it will drive people there further away from her thinking that she is truly unhinged, if they already didn’t think that. Dick Cheney, too, made it clear that they want to keep Trump’s presidency from happening again just like the Democrats.
Some left-leaning people are now accepting the comments of Dick Cheney. They see Cheney as a man they used to demonize like Darth Vader over the decades. They don’t care who the person is or what they may have said about him yesterday, it’s all about whether this will serve their power goals today — which are all about getting Trump out of the way for 2024.

It’s all about what will support Democratic power and that’s exactly what the Cheneys are supporting with this effort, whether they acknowledge it or not.
Glenn Greenwald asked Glenn Greenwald a fascinating question. Why does Trump hate the Cheneys so strongly? What’s the point of this animosity? What is the point of them willing to cooperate with Democrats? This is the simple answer. Greenwald points out that Trump entered the fight against the neocons by calling out Bush/Cheney’s worldview, and Jeb! who the Republicans wanted in 2016. Trump came to the meeting talking about his desire to stop foreign wars, and what he believes will sustain the security of the state.
What’s the liberal explanation for why Dick and Liz Cheney hate Trump?
Is it that this duo — once called Nazis — are actually noble patriots of integrity and law?
Or is it that Trump campaigned on the most vocal denunciation of neocon foreign policy since Ron Paul – and won?

And here’s the part of the discussion on *why* the Cheneys — with the Bushes — hate Trump so much. It’s not because they’re noble patriots who cherish the rule of law (😱).
It’s because Trump ran – and won – denouncing their neoconservative worldview, now the Dem worldview: pic.twitter.com/hYUhtGwE5V

Greenwald said that Trump expelled the “Bush-Cheney” ideology by denouncing them and he won, thereby changing the very nature of the Republican party. That’s why the Cheneys and the Bushes hate Trump, “petty dynastic vengeance,” Greenwald said. Cain notes how “principled” the left is when they align themselves with the neo-conservatives because the neo-conservatives are against Trump.
Things haven’t been the same since Trump showed you can unseat the establishment. That’s why he’s truly “evil” to these people on both sides of the aisle, it has nothing to do with Jan. 6. They hated him way before that, indeed, ever since he won and that’s why. The plan was thrown out and he showed that it can be reversed. That’s why he has to be crushed so that no one will ever dare to do that again.
But it’s too late — you can’t lock the door after the horse already got out. Trump is not the only one who’s out there. Others who want to challenge the establishment’s neocon entry bipartisanism are also out there. And the establishment can’t stop them.
