sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
The progressives that hate Liz Cheney are as bad as the MAGA people that hate her. They are both absolutely childish and getting high off the same social media algorithm drugs. I don't have to agree with 100% of her policy position to respect the sh*t out of her. She clearly is a patriot. Everything else is a distant for me, a Chicago-based Democrat voter.
Just the fact of Cheney has taught this old Democrat a great deal about priorities and political courage. She'll have a prominent place in history if we emerge from this moment intact. You go, girl!
She courageously takes the same stand on voting rights as Strom Thurmmond and courageously voted for Trump in 2016?
But, so what? She's not pretending to be a Democrat. I think since she has ruined her career, lost her standing in her party and faces violence against her and her family shows amazing amount of courage. If she were a witness against a mob boss who she had once worked for, she would be considered brave and honest. And that's exactly what Trump is, a crime boss. He hurts anyone who goes against him and licks the boots of anyone (Putin) who is more disreputable than him. And Fox News aids and abets him. There is no organization more anti democracy than Fox News.
