Liz Cheney is playing the role of disinfectant. The infection may or may not be cured. But we should not forget that if Cheney is successful in eradicating Trumpism, a healthier Republican party may emerge.

Healthier in what way? Do we want an invigorated autocratic far-right party? I don't see Cheney disavowing Reaganomics or voter suppression laws. I don't see her addressing climate change or the excesses of free-market capitalism.
Erik, that was my point (perhaps not clear). The Republican party of Trump is unstable, diseased, likely to crumble. Cheney is trying to save it. We should be wary of cheering for her to succeed.
Yeah no. I am certainly not cheering for her to succeed in saving the party. I am heartened to see the split become more obviously highlighted, though, and so I would like to see her continue to press the cause.
It's very thin line, isn't it, between wanting Republican opposition to Trump become *just strong enough* to stop the overtly fascist takeover but not strong enough to continue their policies with no further introspection.
Myself, I'm kind of worn out by just how interesting the times have become. Are we cursed? ;)

I hope they splinter to pieces.

Ah, ok. I understand.
