But here’s some good news. Cheney keeps her leadership post, after a vote of 145-61 in the GOP conference.
It was a secret ballot.

What I find telling is how Democrats suddenly are ready to disenfranchise voters.
I. Am. Shocked.

The only goal was to prevent the GOP from cleaving. It might have been a strategic master stroke. Very risky we will see.

The GOP is morphing.
If they have any sense, they'll follow Trump's lead on many of the issues that garnered him black, latino and working class white support.

Which is crazier and more damaging? The idea that the Jews have a space laser or the idea that equality means equal outcomes?

Are you suggesting Liz Cheney is all in on ‘equity’?
But to your question, damaging to whom?
Blaming Jews for catastrophic events doesn’t have a great track record.

What does it even matter which is worse?

Just contemplate for a moment what this woman's secret thoughts are like, if her public ones involve Jewish space lasers and faking school shootings.

It’s worse for the GOP if it implodes versus taking the rhetorical heat right now. That’s a no brainer.

I'm talking about what's actually worse, not whatever fallout results in our fractured political system.

Does she represent her district?
√.
Has she advocated violence, yes or no? No.
√.
Then she's less batshit crazy than some of her esteemed colleagues across the aisle.

Today she was booted from all her committee assignments. Maybe this will be a great way for the House to become more rational. Time to start booting the individuals that make incendiary comments. Let it be a lesson to all.

This is a good point, but if they do do what you suggest, they have to do it by making President Trump in the background and slowly disappearing.
Any gains President Trump had in the black, latino and working class white were were more than eliminated by large decreases in college educated white people, and people with ages from 18-29 and age 65+
President Trump does not have a good record of keeping voters.
For people who love President Trump, I think that they love him more than any recent President, but again, this was eliminated by increases in the people who did not like him.
For me, it seems obvious that they have to move away from President Trump if they want to move forward in the future.

Cancel culture will get you more Trump. It may not be him the person, but you will get more of exactly what you don’t want. Not unity.

If it doesn't happen across the aisle - AND IT WON'T - it means nothing.

Has "cancel culture" become more or less prevalent since Trump won the general election near the end of 2016?
By your theory, you would have to say that "cancel culture" has become less prevalent as we now have "less Trump" than we did at the end of 2016.
If you say "cancel culture" has become more prevalent, then your theory about "cancel culture" getting you "more Trump" is obviously false as we now have "less Trump" than we did at the end of 2016.
