I'll bet it's possible to offer praise for Liz Cheney's principled stance on the Jan. 6th attack and also ask why she hasn't shown any contrition or self-reflection for enabling (and directly benefitting from) Trump's nonsense for years, which led to the attack on Jan. 6th.

Liz Cheney played an enormous role in getting to this point, and when we simply let that go by refusing to acknowledge it, we're asking to be deceived down the line.

I don't wanna be a wet blanket. But it's astonishing to me how fast people go from "good on Liz Cheney for speaking up on this one thing" to "OMG, Liz Cheney is the Profile in Courage of our time".

Y'all really need to chill the fuck out on that. Honestly.

And not for nothing: I'm especially annoyed that, given her extensive anti-LGBTQ track record, y'all just kinda ignore all that because it's inconvenient.

It really doesn't make a lot of us who are LGBTQ feel very good. Jussayin'!
