Liz Cheney will be removed as the chair of the Republican Conference next week. It's not official yet but as one anonymous GOP member said, "The fix is in." And all because she refuses to genuflect to Trump or support his lies. Liz is a moderate conservative who is in a position and will do her part to push back at the left and help to get conservatives elected in 2022. But instead the GOP leadership, whoever they are, is doing everything they can to help the Democrats by keeping the Republican party derailed.
One of the accusations against Liz is that she is not "supporting the message." What the hell is the message!? To continue to support unfounded lies? To continue to showcase the lunacy coming out of the mouths of some of the far-right supposed conservatives? I ask again, what is the message? There was a time when I thought I knew...when I thought I knew what conservative principals and values were and stood for. Not anymore. The obvious lack of a united direction evidenced by the absurd utterings from the likes of Trump, Cruz, Green, etc. is feeding right into the hands of Pelosi, AOC, Stacy Abrams and their ilk.
There are outposts inside the GOP that are trying to restore unity and sanity. There is Adam Kinzinger's Country First, the Lincoln Project and several other organizations trying to get the party back on track but they won't succeed because they're splintered, not at all reflecting the 'unity' they claim to want to establish, which means that their voices are too soft and their numbers inconsequential. What little direction there is is following the path of Trumpism, which is no path at all.
We may win back some seats in 2022 but no way will the GOP prevail in 2024...not as long as the party continues to act like one big Three Stooges comedy.
