Where have all the conservatives gone -- Liz Cheney in the crossfire

Liz Cheney has been ostracized from the Republican Party in her state of Wyoming. I am not a fan of Liz Cheney but she has shown herself to be a profile in courage. I hope she continues her stint in Congress and does not let the thoroughly corrupt mendacious Trump and those who support him define who she is and who we are. Shame on the Wyoming Republican Party and shame on all of them who do not stand up to that rancid man Trump.

There are no words to define the Republican Party in present time. I hope they lose mightily in every state where they have corrupted the vote. I hope our legal system stands in strong opposition to every ugly corrupt thing Trump attempts. I loathe that man Trump more than I can ever convey. Look at the fracturing of the American public he has done, look at how many lives he has ruined and how many died by his insane inaction against COVID and against the wearing of masks to stop it!  I hope the American people do not let him get away with all the corruption he has perpetrated. He is a sickening man. He is corrupting our nation and attempting to take democracy down and replace it with an authoritarian state placing him at the top for as long as he can. He calls American neo Nazis some good when, in fact, no Nazi is a good person.

Trump can take away a lot of things but I'm not going to let that lying excuse for a human take away my hope. I am hoping by some miracle those Nazi-like extremists to whom he appeals will be stopped. I hope as I did in the late 60's that my left wing slant will have done something humane and good. What I did not count on and failed to see was the nation states west were filled with arch conservative extremist ideologues and the south would always have many intractable racists. I once thought our liberalism and its quest for humanitarian policies of good would take root. Some have with immense struggle.

The great Howard Zinn with whom I was acquainted always said it does not matter what the opposition is. It matters that you oppose them and never stop. So onward I will oppose them with all the strength I have knowing that we want good for those who have never known what good is.
