Former Representative Liz Cheney, a name synonymous with the anti-Trump faction of the GOP, is set to team up with Vice President Kamala Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin. This once proud Republican, now more like a political chameleon, is making headlines for her unusual alliance with the architect of progressive policies. The Cheneys, known for their establishment Republican credentials, have thrown their lot in with Harris, signaling a new era of political oddities.
Liz Cheney recently declared her support for Kamala Harris, citing Donald Trump as a significant danger to the nation. It’s ironic that a woman who once held a prominent position in the Republican Party now finds herself on stage with the Vice President of a party that many conservatives view as steering the country into the socialist abyss. Strangely, it seems Cheney believes that casting her vote for the Democratic Vice President somehow aligns with her values as a constitutional conservative. The cognitive dissonance here could fill a void larger than her Wyoming constituency.
A reminder that if you want more war, vote for Harris.

The announcement came fresh off a speech where Cheney expressed her thoughts about the former President in terms that would make even the strongest of steel spine Republicans wince. She is ready to rally support for Harris in swing states, indicating her ambitions of reshaping the Republican narrative to fit her narrative, which is, let’s face it, a great deal more aligned with the left than with traditional conservatives. The irony of a Cheney endorsing a figure like Harris, who represents the pinnacle of everything the family traditionally stood against, could spark an entire new genre of political satire.
Dick Cheney, the legendary figure of the Republican Party and a former Vice President himself, has also joined the chorus of claims against Trump, branding him a “threat” to the nation. Although it is disheartening for conservatives to see a Cheney endorsing someone who promotes policies that could dismantle their foundational beliefs, it showcases how far the party has strayed from its original values. The elder Cheney’s vision seems to be trapped in a dream of bipartisanship that most conservatives recognize as a one-way street where conservative values go to die.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, is traveling to Ripon to capitalize on this absurd alliance, hoping to woo Republicans and independent voters who may have memories of the party’s glory days before it was influenced by Trump’s populist wave. In a desperate attempt to differentiate herself from Trump’s version of the Republican Party, Harris is set to announce her plan to revive the old-school GOP image, one that apparently includes a side of Liz Cheney. The whole spectacle may seem like an act of desperation, with two political figures who are anything but representative of mainstream conservatism singing from the same hymn sheet while ignoring the reality that most Republicans simply want the party to return to its center-right roots.
The upcoming event illustrates just how out of touch Liz Cheney has become with the very voters she once represented. It serves as a reminder that political alliances often come from strange places, and in this case, it looks like conservatives can expect more absurdities in the 2024 electoral landscape.
