I haven’t seen anyone “fluffing” at Cheney right now. It’s funny how in


Politics, the existence of grey in the world escapes us. Especially the most partisan. People outside the Trump cult agree with Cheney’s stance on the lies about election rigging and fraud, and pretty much everything else between Election Day 2020 and 1/6. That does not change the disagreement with her on any of her policy positions. It is a rare act of statesmanship these days to place one’s convictions above political ambition, and unlike the likes of McCarthy and Graham (and almost every other repub), who buckled under rather than sticking to their guns on 1/6 (for example), Cheney stayed firm, knowing she is sacrificing her position and almost certainly her seat in the House.

It would be great if that were more common in politics in this country, but it isn’t, and is worthy of respect no matter how one feels about other policy positions. Personally, I’d like to see her win her primary because I’m looking for any sign of the repubs becoming a party instead of a personality cult again. So that’s not really about Cheney at all.
