Cheney and the second and more enduring "big lie"

Good for her, standing up for the truth..nice to see a bit of conscience...I couldn’t get past her statement of continuing to fight for conservatism, and defeat “socialism”...the most enduring lie of the gop. From the creation of social security, Medicare and countless other programs promoting social justice, the gop has opposed these bills as “ socialist”, and vigorously promoted the Democratic Party as “socialist”....she has been and will continue to promote this lie as it is the basis for trumps gop. As Charles Blow recently stated in a post...yes she is falling on the sword...but it is a sword of her own making...this will lose air soon and she will be back on board with trumps gop and the anti “socialist” agenda..and more fodder for the Q...it runs deep in their dna..just my opinion

And it works on so many who directly benefit from that "Socialism" in ways they won't even recognize.

The FIRE DEPARTMENT is socialism. The HIGHWAY SYSTEM. RURAL ELECTRIFICATION. STATE PARKS. PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

It goes on and on.
