Liz Cheney, Accidental Democrat “Hero”

I was motivated to riff on the bizarre phenomenon of progressives fawning over a hardline conservative because she declined to follow the bulk of her beloved Republican Party into loony fascist territory. I mean good on Liz Cheney for showing us it’s still possible to be a Republican with some sort of integrity.

But the other fascinating thing about this contest between Cheney and Harriet Hageman is the idea of a battle for the soul of the Republican Party – perhaps the flagship of global patriarchy – being fought out between women. Powerful women arguing over whether or not to continue to back a man who has shown himself to be utterly without conscience.

Turns out Republicans with integrity don’t belong any more.
