I am glad that Cheney is standing up to the lie that is Trump, but that is the ONLY good thing about her and it is not enough.

Cheney, like her father, still represent horrific ideas about how American society should be structured. If left to their own devices, the Republican Party would destroy itself trying to thread the needle between the racist populism that Trump espouses and their desire to continue serving the needs of the ultra rich. Those things are ultimately incompatible. The ultra wealthy hate the poor White racists almost as much as they hate people of color. They've just been working off of the centuries old playbook of using poor Whites as muscle, while paying lip service to their plight. The poor Whites want a bigger seat at the table than the ultra rich are willing to give them.
