Liz Cheney: The U.S. Is ‘Sleepwalking Into Dictatorship’

Trump has "told us what he will do," the Republican former congresswoman said in preview clips from an interview.

Liz Cheney, the former Republican representative from Wyoming, expressed deep concern in an interview about American democracy’s ability to survive another four-year presidential term for Donald Trump.

In clips shared Friday from the interview that will air on “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Cheney told host Josh Dickerson that Americans can’t entirely rely on Congress and the judicial system to rein in Trump ― the clear front-runner at this point for the GOP presidential nomination despite facing 91 felony charges linked to his 2016 campaign, his 2020 reelection loss and his mishandling of classified documents.

“He’s told us what he will do. It’s very easy to see the steps that he will take,” Cheney said.

“People who say ‘Well, if he’s elected, it’s not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances’ don’t fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted. … One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of a sleepwalking into dictatorship in the United States.”

Johnson was one of the biggest cheerleaders of Trump’s ill-fated attempt to claim victory in the 2020 election won by Joe Biden. Shortly after the election, Johnson led an amicus brief backing a Texas lawsuit asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the vote.

Cheney raised similar concerns about Johnson during a podcast appearance last month.



In a quote from the interview released by CBS News, Cheney slammed newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) as someone who “knows ... that what he’s doing and saying is wrong, but he’s willing to do it in an effort to please Donald Trump.”

Can you or Liz explain exactly how that might happen? Like how does the Republic end? What’s the mechanism used to stop the democratic process? Please be specific.

And why if Trump wanted to “end democracy” would he wait until his second term? Is the the master plan of Trump who is somehow this brilliant mastermind who’s going to over throw the US government at the same time as him being a moron.

She's right, it's the establishment of Ministries of truth to root out "disinformation" (aka information they don't like or want known)
Banning classic books, because of "racism".....God Forbid someone sees the N word on a page, after hearing it 900 times on their I tunes account in the past hour.
The left HATES the Constitution and thinks it's the government that grants rights, even though the Declaration defines the truth, written by people a lot smarter than AOC and Ilhan Taliban.

MAGA Maggots are traitors to this country and should be treated as such , for the rest of their lives.

How does that work? Does the President get to just say hey I’m stopping this election and he remains President? Let’s aay the idiots that rioted in the capital were actually trying to overthrow the government. What’s the path to that happening?

Very democratic of you.

First it is normal for patriots to hate this countries enemy's , considering there has never been a bigger threat in our history to our democracy, They and anyone associated with them shout be hated. and I'm saying these traitors have to be marked and watched by the patriots of this country forever so they don't try to destroy this great country in the future as they tried before. Yes you are bottom feeding traitor.

By the way how stupid do you think Americans are , there is only one thing that shitpants would have done if he would have stopped the election of Biden with his treasonous act. We have to remember there is not one truth in the words of shitpants and his followers as far as the election is concerned, the stupidest brain dead lie in history. With 1 in every million being illegals votes and by all study's and standards the major majority of which was done by there own right wing hate party. Not enough to even change any aspect of any election. And the cheaters in fact were supporting the rights hate group they call a party.
 
What I get a kick out of is the rights hate party thinks that it is not normal for patriots to hate the enemy of their country. When in fact by all standards they are the biggest enemy to our democracy and country. They should be watched for ever so they don't try it again.

So you can’t explain how it would happen but it’s really a thing just trust you?

That 2 posts of rambling bullshit to say you can’t explain the “threat to democracy”.
 
By the way , the best response you can give to these right wing shit brains is not to even respond , unless they say something that is true. Which of course they never do.
