You are saying what millions of us are THINKING. And it is not simply the enemy of my enemy is my friend. She has been the firewall for democracy. I concur there are many, many things that the Cheney family hs done to lead to this moment, including Liz hersel (do you think they ever SEE the connection?). But to see her and her father as the ONLY Republicans at a service for a Capitol policeman lying in state? Encouraged me. And what she has done with eloquence and strength, it reminds me that there is still a heartbeat somewhere in the mass cult-like delusion Donald Trump has cast over the party. Much in the way Second Great Awakening preacher Lyman Beecher could not wholly deciate himself to antislavery in the years before the Civil War— it was his daughter Harriet Beecher Stowe who wrote the book that lit the spark of abolition with her Uncle Tom's Cabin. Maybe we have an historical corollary here.
