Abe Lincoln once said, “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” There may not be a more fitting quote to describe Liz_Cheney's time in office, cwtremo writes
There may not be a more fitting quote to describe Liz Cheney’s time as a Wyoming congresswoman. As expected, Liz Cheney lost her election Tuesday night. Vying for her third term in Congress, Cheney could not fool all of her constituents this time.
“Abraham Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all. Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history,” Cheney said.In reality, she’s probably not even a Millard Fillmore. She was an establishment Republican never-Trumper who seemed only to care about settling political squabbles during her second term and who reputedly ignored her Wyoming constituents.
The two did not even have to be mutually exclusive — Cheney just made them that way. As Cheney prioritized “getting Trump,” Democrats chipped away at the moral fiber of the country. But what frustrated most people about Cheney is that she never criticized the despotic Democratic platform and the damage it was doing to this country with the same vigor she attacked Trump. It felt as if Cheney perceived Trump was a bigger threat to the country than the political party that says things like “men can have babies,” redefines the definition of recession, and supports critical race theory and gender ideology being taught in schools.
