I think her op-ed was a laser-focused attempt to write a new platform that will appeal to what might be termed "rational conservatives," though I acknowledge the oxymoron there. Sadly, I think this is a winning formula. The quiet majority of conservatives are sick and tired of the Trump circus and looking for any offramp they can find and Cheney is positioning herself to be that.

If that is a winning formula then USA is destined to remain a shithole country. Progressives and Biden can posture all they want with legislation that would bring America into the 21st century, but can sleep at night knowing it ain't going to happen. Because Americans, admit it or not, including so called moderate Democrats, don't want it to happen because their precious tax dollars might help Black and Brown people.

And thus has it always been. We are kidding ourselves if we believe we have ever been anything but a white supremacist ethnostate.
