    1. The Liz Cheney speech is causing a lot of ripples but people aren't paying attention to what she actually said (which is crucial for understanding why her brand of anti-Trump Republicanism is a political dead end): she's calling for a new Cold War.

        2. Cheney's speech is filled with Cold War references: "communist domination...Castro's totalitarian regime...Soviet gulag...the cusp of another Cold War -- this time with communist China." The argument is USA needs to unite in order to combat Red China

        3. Cheney's invocation of the Cold War (and her call for a new one) makes sense when you realize that historically the United States is fractious nation needing external threats to unify. But does this politics of elite consensus still work?https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/cheneys-cold-war-nostalgia-is-no?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

        really hard for some people to realize that two groups of people who hate each other can both be bad

        similarly two groups of people who hate each other can both be good as well

        The new Cold War already exists. A clear head while regarding 2016 and 2020 would confirm it.

        Any split is a political dead end until either R party collapses or we end up with some sort of authoritarian government

        One note: the America conservatives harken back to most is one in the early stages of said Cold War, with a unifying enemy for the country and especially conservatives

        The story shouldn’t be Liz Cheney at all, but the Republican Party’s absolute rejection of anyone in its ranks who won’t peddle a “stolen election” lie.

        if there's one thing that will unite the right, liberals, and even some leftists, it's sinophobia
