Sympathy for the Cheney

 

What is with all this nonsensical sympathy for Liz Cheney coming from the Left? 

She's still Liz Cheney, is she not? The daughter of the monster who served as VP under W? A staunch Republican? An obstructionist? An anti-social, anti-liberal sea-anchor to progress? The same promulgator of a despicable ethos and myopic vision of society? One who claims that empathy is a weakness to be over-come with draconian legislation? That one? That Liz Cheney? The Republican from Wyoming who represents the state’s ‘at-large’ Congressional district? That one? 

Why the sympathy for her? Why sympathize with such a lurid opponent to all things liberal and progressive? Because she’s standing up to the MAGA-morons and the cancerous Trumpian madness?

Sure, offer her some moral support for her opposition to the devolution of the ‘Grand Old Party’. But, please, spare us the crocodile tears for her removal from GQP leadership. There should not be a tear shed for her. Neither should there be a beating of breasts for her scornful treatment by Kevin (the Douche) McCarthy, handmaiden to the Orange Dope. 

Personally, witnessing the self-destruction of the GQP is a great and treasured pleasure. It’s like watching agitated scorpions in a bucket sting and attack each other. Let them all perish from self-inflicted wounds. It’s indeed gruesome but it is fitting. Witnessing them end themselves with their own toxin makes for a very poetic and Shakespearean moment in history.

Save your sympathy for Liz. Save it for the countless children who have suffered from GOP legislation. Save your sympathy for the families of the victims of police violence. Save your energy for the enduring fight for justice and equality.  

Liz is acting the part of the Lone Wolf whose pack has gone rabid. How commendable.

Never forget that she, herself, is a wolf.
