Liz Cheney, the former GOP representative turned vocal anti-Trumper, has made the headlines again—this time for her rather ironic embrace of the democratic process after a spectacularly predictable electoral defeat for her favored candidate. Following the election results that saw Donald Trump securing a resounding victory, Cheney felt the need to clamor for unity and respect for the electoral outcome. Somehow, after backing none other than Vice President Kamala Harris, it seems she suddenly has a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of democracy.
In her latest statement, Cheney asserted that the nation’s electoral system worked as intended. It’s reminiscent of that one relative who shows up at the family reunion and decides it’s time to play nice after starting a race for the last slice of pie. Americans, she proclaimed, must accept the election results—whether they like them or not. This sentiment, however, could have been taken seriously if it hadn’t been delivered by someone who spent the latter part of the campaign arguing that Trump was a threat to democracy, not to mention a “fascist.”
Critics quickly lit up social media, pointing out the glaring inconsistency in Cheney’s stance. Wasn’t this the same Liz who repeatedly accused Trump of undermining democracy? It’s almost as if she reached her final election argument with a shrug of resignation. The calls for unity are no doubt genuine, albeit coming from a person whose political credibility has imploded faster than a badly designed website. Political analysts are already speculating that her political resurrection could take root in a new daytime talk show, perhaps a role on “The View”—because what could be more unifying than cozying up with the Hollywood elite?
Here's What Liz Cheney Had to Say After Trump's Landslide Win
I'm absolutely shocked at her response.
All of them are awful willing to accept the results.. I know there's really nothing else they can do but I expected them to have a fit lolhttps://t.co/ijGdpb7yHd— 🦅🗡️𝙆𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙥🗡️🦅 (@D_Trump24) November 6, 2024
The commentary has been relentless, with observers remarking that for someone who once claimed Trump embodied a threat to the nation, her sudden push for acceptance post-election smacks of hypocrisy. Social media has been rife with snarky remarks; one critic even speculated if Cheney would be good company on a show about coffee and controversy, since she now appears to be sipping from the very cup of unity she once criticized so vehemently.
In classic conservative fashion, reactions range from disbelief to outright humor, as observers contemplate Cheney’s abrupt transformation from fierce opponent to reluctant sport. Is unity on the table? Only if it doesn’t taste like defeat for the Democrats. For now, the conservative base shakes its head, chuckling at the irony of a politician seeking reconciliation after years of inflaming partisan tensions. If this is how the new political landscape looks, it’s safe to say that the electorate is still finding its footing—and Liz Cheney is just one of many spineless contenders trying to adapt.
