      To be fair / credit where it’s due, he was vocally anti-Trump when he was still holding office. He and Cheney both, and they were ostracized for it.

        It’s the reality of modern US politics. One party is a complex coalition of vaguely progressive neolibs, and the other is a literal cult. Either you say “Jan 6th wasn’t a big deal” or they force you to quit.

          Lol, yup.

          Normally, you’d be right on the money. It’s always some former congressperson/staffer dishing out all the illegal things they saw. Except instead of reporting it to the authorities, they want you to buy their book and read about it.

        Fact that a fucking Cheney was on the kind of sort of reasonable by comparison if you squint side of the Republican party and basically got chased out for it is wild.
