QOTD – Digby's Hullabaloo

I’m fairly sure this guy agrees with Liz Cheney on only one thing. But it’s an extremely important thing:

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) will likely be voted off the House Republican Leadership. Her crime: acknowledging the reality that Trump lost the election. The Republican Party is no longer a "conservative" party. It is an anti-democratic cult pushing the Big Lie and conspiracy theories.

If the right succeeds in destroying out democracy, none of the other issues we care about have a chance. Sanders gets this. We all need to take this threat seriously.

He’s not the only Senator who is more than a little bit concerned:

I swear there’s a whole cottage industry around telling people to not freak out even after a @&# insurrection and the number 3 R is getting ousted this week and there are voter suppression laws passing across America. It is time to be alarmed. It is not always savvy to be chill.
