If anything, it will drive people there further away from her thinking that she is truly unhinged, if they already didn\u2019t think that. Dick Cheney also slipped up and made clear that their aim is about keeping Trump from becoming president again, just like the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>In response, because that serves the anti-Trump Democratic narrative, suddenly some on the left are embracing these comments from Dick Cheney, the man they have demonized like Darth Vader for decades. They don\u2019t care who the person is or what they may have said about him yesterday, it\u2019s all about whether this will serve their power goals today \u2014 which are all about getting Trump out of the way for 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">MSNBC \u2013 8\/5\/2022 \u2013 Do progressives love Dick Cheney now after his anti-Trump advertisement <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QMHGBpoU7b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/QMHGBpoU7b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CaseStudyQB \u2013 PeoplesGauntlet.com (@CaseStudyQB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CaseStudyQB\/status\/1555613179731902464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s all about what will support Democratic power and that\u2019s exactly what the Cheneys are supporting with this effort, whether they acknowledge it or not.<\/p>\n<p>But journalist Glenn Greenwald <a href=\"https:\/\/twitchy.com\/dougp-3137\/2022\/08\/06\/glenn-greenwald-explains-why-dick-and-liz-cheney-hate-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had a great question<\/a> about all this: why do the Cheneys hate Trump so? What\u2019s the point of this animosity? Why are they willing to throw in with the Democrats to act like this? The answer is a simple one. As Greenwald observes, Trump came in fighting the neocons, calling out the Bush\/Cheney worldview and Jeb!, who the Republicans wanted to win in 2016. He came in talking about wanting to end foreign wars and the things that sustain the security state.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">What\u2019s the liberal explanation for why Dick and Liz Cheney hate Trump?<\/p>\n<p>Is it that this duo \u2014 once called Nazis \u2014 are actually noble patriots of integrity and law?<\/p>\n<p>Or is it that Trump campaigned on the most vocal denunciation of neocon foreign policy since Ron Paul \u2013 and won?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1555583738683203585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">And here\u2019s the part of the discussion on *why* the Cheneys \u2014 with the Bushes \u2014 hate Trump so much. It\u2019s not because they\u2019re noble patriots who cherish the rule of law (\ud83d\ude31).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because Trump ran \u2013 and won \u2013 denouncing their neoconservative worldview, now the Dem worldview: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hYUhtGwE5V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/hYUhtGwE5V<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1555913184787267586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 6, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Greenwald said that Trump expelled the \u201cBush-Cheney\u201d ideology by denouncing them and he won, thereby changing the very nature of the Republican party. That\u2019s why the Cheneys and the Bushes hate Trump, \u201cpetty dynastic vengeance,\u201d Greenwald said. Cain notes how \u201cprincipled\u201d the left is when they align themselves with the neo-conservatives because the neo-conservatives are against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Things haven\u2019t been the same since Trump showed you can unseat the establishment. That\u2019s why he\u2019s truly \u201cevil\u201d 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\u2019s why. He upset the plan and showed it could be upset. That\u2019s why he has to be crushed so that no one will ever dare to do that again.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s too late \u2014 you can\u2019t lock the door after the horse already got out. Not only is Trump out there in the wings. But others who are willing to challenge that neo-con entrances bipartisan establishment are out there and coming as well. And the establishment can\u2019t stop them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote about this insane ad that Rep.
