At Least Trying

 WHAT LIZ CHENEY  is trying to do is not "relitigating the past" as Kevin McCarthy lies, but rather, she is trying to accomplish something far more immediate, urgent, and necessary.She is trying to verbally slap some sense into seventy million misguided people, trying to force them to abandon their hypnotic fantasy about the election and Trump, and return to reality. A seemingly impossible task, it must be very frustrating for her. I should know, for for six agonizing months I have been similarly engaged, though doubtless with much less hope of succeeding. I realize now that they deluded themselves, and they'll have to undo their own delusions. If I could help, I would. Liz Cheney is a Don Quixote Sisyphus sort of figure gallantly or perhaps foolishly pursuing the impossible. It takes far far longer to mentally heal seventy million deluded people, than it does to vaccinate them, a difficult enough task unto itself. Who knows where all this will lead. Trump could run again in 2024, win, and be proclaimed president for life by order of Christ.With enough crazy people, anything's possible. Under a newly reelected, reinvigorated reinvented save by the grace of God and Almighty Jesus Christ Donald Trump, the term "president" might gradually fade away, and "The Throne of Christ, America" might become hereditary, with Ivanka, Jared, Eric, Barron, and Don Jr. sharing the prize.  If this seems at all nightmarish, contact your local Democratic party. In the progressive community, there are two schools of thought regarding Liz Cheney. that she is a hero, and that she is not. She is not, of course; she  is basically a person who is trying to do the right thing, against great odds.  Amazingly, she is one of only ab elite few republicans willing to do that. In that context, anybody who does the right thing seems, by comparison, a hero.
