Who?
I am a conservative Republican, and the most conservative of conservative values is reverence for the rule of law. Each of us swears an oath before God to uphold our Constitution. The electoral college has spoken. More than 60 state and federal courts, including multiple Trump-appointed judges, have rejected the former president’s arguments, and refused to overturn election results. That is the rule of law; that is our constitutional system for resolving claims of election fraud.
The question before us now is whether we will join Trump’s crusade to delegitimize and undo the legal outcome of the 2020 election, with all the consequences that might have.
I have worked overseas in nations where changes in leadership come only with violence, where democracy takes hold only until the next violent upheaval. America is exceptional because our constitutional system guards against that. At the heart of our republic is a commitment to the peaceful transfer of power among political rivals in accordance with law. President Ronald Reagan described this as our American “miracle.”“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

I honestly don't believe it. I think Trump is just jumping on the bandwagon of issues that concern the right against the left because that thrusts him into the media spotlight, so it seems that way. I don't deny there is a small faction on the right that are outright Trump cultists, but I don't think it's as widespread as those on the left claim it is.

Exactly. Trump is their golden calf to try and salvage what little of their media ratings they have left, so they're going to do everything they can to keep beating that dead horse. And Trump, being the egocentric impulsive celebrity that he is, will happily keep those flames stoked.

Watch what they do to Liz Cheney. She is the sacrificial offering to the man-god. And remember Moses burnt the golden calf in a fire, ground it to powder, scattered it on water, and forced the GOP to drink it.

Like Ronson, you're asking the wrong conservative to show any sympathy towards neocon Liz Cheney. And that sentiment extends well before Trump got into politics. What I think is even more of an absurd political dynamic is the fact the left media is defending a spawn of Dick.

Bad Orange Man has been out of office for over three months and Liz is still yammering about him. She needs to shut her festering gob and realize the party has moved on from Shrub/Cheney.
Next cycle, I'll vote for whoever is most America-First conservative and least likely to politely bend over when challenged. If that means another go with Bad Orange Man, great. If someone else credibly steps up, also great.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
