Cheney is correct in her assessment of the dangers of a second Trump term:Nope. It's personal. Trump insulted her father. Cheney represents the establishment elite of the Republican Party. It's nothing to do with saving democracy, that's just rhetoric for the ideologues. It's all about keeping power for the establishment Republicans.
‘She says it's a misconception that a second Trump term "wouldn't be that bad" because of the separation of powers and institutions that some have suggested would restrain him.
One of the main messages of her book is that people can't actually count of them to work: a House led by Johnson full of lawmakers who have pledged allegiance to Trump, courts whose rulings Trump has made clear he will ignore, a Senate confirmation process that Trump could avoid, radical far-right figures who he would appoint to his administration.
"Our republic can't sustain that," Cheney said, adding that "the Republican Party, as it exists today, is dangerous to the country."’

Democracy is at stake if Trump is reelected, Liz Cheney warns in her new book
Liz Cheney's book Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning slams Trump's efforts to stay in power after 2020 and the Republicans who enabled him. She tells NPR why voters should mobilize against him.

That Trump will ignore the Federal courts that rule against him is particularly damning, where Trump would continue to violate the law and Constitution as an autocrat and dictator.
