In the midst of another secret-ballot vote that will likely remove Liz Cheney as the chair of the House Republican Conference, some members of the GOP threaten to create a third party.
On one hand, I want to praise Liz Cheney for standing up to 45 and his blindly-obedient supporters/followers, but on the other, she and others like her enabled his rise in the first place. So, my sympathy for her is limited.
That said, it's pretty scary what is happening to the Republican Party right now. While I agree with it on just about nothing, I do believe that it's important to have competing views of this country's future because that is what causes parties to evolve and adapt. Right now, the Republican Party stands for nothing except one man and his despicable lie about the last election (which just followed his despicable lies about almost everything else). That is not a good thing for the United States specifically or the world in general, given the role we play in it.
I agree, 100 Republicans are not enough. Not unless they get the marquee names like Bush, dad Cheney, Romney, and others who did not choose to drink the Trumpade. Without them and the heavy hitters of the donor class, any splinter party is going to have a tough time of it. Of course, the more upheaval all this creates in the GOP, the happier *I* am, but that's just me. ;)
Miles Taylor don’t play. He has guts and he doesn’t need glory. The split is about to begin. EX minions will swarm even further to the right and the propaganda will pollute the airwaves and so many minds. Cheney, who is just now removed from her leadership role, Romney and other sane members of the party will stand firm. The cleave will be vicious, deep and wide. Will voters fall through the crevice?
Splintering of one of our democracy cornerstones is a very big deal. Is anyone in middle America paying attention?
