In 2016, former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsed Donald Trump for president of the United States.This assertion would make actual liberal Democrats snort with derision given that they think Trump makes Genghis Khan look like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.Yet the mocking sneer was illustrative of Cheney’s own hard-right neocon political DNA.And that surprise turned to jaw-dropped, eye-popping, incredulity when Harris promptly issued a statement saying she was “proud” to have his support.
Such was their hatred for him that they even branded him Darth Vader after one of the most iconic and reviled villains in popular culture, the merciless Star Wars character who exuded rage and darkness as he killed everyone and everything he hated.Indeed, current President Joe Biden said during the 2008 presidential race: “Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we’ve had probably in American history.
The irony of Cheney now being lauded as a shining white knight galloping in to defend democracy is beyond parody.For a summary of what liberals really think of Cheney, civil liberties journalist and campaigner Chip Gibbons wrote a piece for the socialist magazine Jacobin in 2022 headlined, “Dick Cheney Should Be in Jail, Not Praised as a Hero by Democrats.”
One of the reasons for this, according to the new poll, is that a near-majority of voters think Trump occupies the center ground and is “not too far” to the left or right on the issues, while nearly half of voters think Harris is too far to the left.
