And Cheney was a fucking monster so like that’s saying something.

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 37 points 1 month ago

That tells enough about the Republican party's current direction.

Can’t believe I upvoted Dick Cheney.

What a dick!

Of course, he’s not a republican, he’s a conservative.

[-] heyoni@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago

Exactly, there’s such a difference now. Republicanism is no longer a set of values, it’s a cult. Nothing can undo the damage that’s been done.

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 month ago

Ironically, the amount of damage done makes it almost fixable. Trump going so far off the deep end will eventually allow whatever conservative political body forms after he's out of public life to disavow Trumpism.

Compare the Trump movement to the Tea Party movement and you'll see what I mean. The Tea Party wasn't too far away from the existing Republican platform, and the movement was comparatively tame. Because of that, the Republican party would not be able to separate itself from the Tea Party movement if they tried.

after he's out of public life

Preach Lemming!

That's the only thing that matters now. I can't see or hear him anymore. Also, he has damaged humanity enough.

It's like his fucking toxic aura spread around the world and divided societies in 2 extremely opposed factions.

The grabbers and the not-grabbers.

You know what? I fuckin hate the guy, but in the context of “let’s stop the goddamn fascist kleptocrats”, I’ll take it.

The ends justify the means eh?

[-] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 1 month ago

He's still alive?

That guy epitomizes everything that went wrong with Iraq and the Nixon administration. I wouldn't believe there's anything good about him until now.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 13 points 1 month ago

This doesn’t make him good, it’s just the point that trump is a bridge too far for him.
