6. Republicans' analogies are also so fucked up.

They seem to have a very stilted way of seeing the world.

You can say that Liz Cheney seems to have betrayed the party or conservatism, or whatever. To reduce it to seeing your "girlfriend" in the stands of the opposing team though, that reduces women to objects.

I disagree with Cheney on 99% of things and she and her father are horrible. She is, however, a fully autonomous person who appeared to have a moment where she took a principled stand against a person who tried to remain in power by inciting insurrection, and for Republicans to reduce that to "our side v. your side" with a sexist analogy to boot.
