The news of Liz Cheney's demise has been met with glee by Trumpleton's. Better to get rid of a Trump critic than deal with the truth of what she says. Their rationale, she had the audacity to question Repub's blind fidelity to Trump and his election lies. Additionally, she voted to impeach Don for his 1/6 treachery.
But calling it rationale lends too much credence to their beliefs because it implies they are rational. They aren't. It goes without saying everything Liz has said about the Big Lie is unequivocally true. Making those who still believe the fraud delusion very, very angry. The same could be said for her vote to impeach Don. Seven brave Repub senators joined her in the second impeachment since they could no longer turn a blind eye to the facts as they had in the first impeachment trial. Some of the more egregious facts were unknown until they were revealed by the 1/6 committee, of which she is a member. All the more reason to hate her.
All of which puts on full display the value of establishing a dishonest narrative to which Trump supporters can cling in times of stress. "But the Russia hoax"..........is a common refrain despite Mueller's report proving beyond any doubt Trump obstructed his investigation. Not to mention engaging in despicable, traitorous behavior that violated the spirit if not the letter of the law. Similarly, they point to impeachment votes as a betrayal of loyalty to Dear Leader because they have adopted a pile of lies so tall it clouds their better judgement. Lies not confined to the issues surrounding the impeachment. Lies about the non-existent deep state, about Biden, about the FBI, about Crossfire Hurricane, Obama, Hillary, the origins of the failed coup, the media, it all comes to the fore when a defense for Trump's most recent heinous acts is required.
Some of us have fact checked those omnipresent lies, to no avail. A reality that explains why we as a country find ourselves in the situation we're in. Where truth tellers are purged in favor of sycophants.
