In reply to the discussion: Why Trump threatened Liz Cheney? [View all]jaxexpat
(7,794 posts)33. Liz is Republican royalty; a member of an exclusive cadre where Trump would never be welcome or even allowed.
More than a political opponent and critic, she currently performs as a doorkeeper barring the likes of Trump and Musk access to what they both long for over any honors. That being, unambiguous membership and uncontroversial acceptance to the most inner circle of America's oligarchical elite. The whole "Cheney support Harris because Trump bad" thing is telling, really. It reveals how unburdened with self-awareness the upper echelons and "old guard" of the Republican party actually are. They should welcome the likes of Trump and his "friends" as brothers. With their utter crudeness and total lack of foresight, they fit in nearly all respects.
