Liz Cheney refuses to adopt the mandatory MAGA dogma, The Big Lie. The MAGA party is now obligated to punish Cheney as much as legally possible. They will toss her from leadership (Probably promote an obedient token woman), bury her committee assignments, and then work to primary her. Party over country.
Liz Cheney doesn’t care. She cares about her position, which is that The Big Lie is the biggest threat to democracy. Any good progressive is now supposed to be obligated to say “Liz Cheney is not our friend, she may take the right position now but… ” We might have even noted it at some point. But right now, with regard to this country’s future? The courageous and patriotic Liz Cheney is damned well our friend. How can we argue policy if the country’s democracy doesn’t survive?
Under Cheney’s statement, we have included responses that are pure fascism, terrifying fascism. The victimized right is positive that their “election” was stolen from them. In reality, what they’re actually claiming, is that their right to rule was stolen from them. This is fascism and it’s terrifying. Democracy is barely holding on.
Cheney wants democracy to survive and in this context, we must support her fight against the Big Lie MAGAs. She has met the inevitable punishment unapologetically, with strong clarity, and direct conviction. She continues to point out the dangerous conspiracy that has consumed the Trumpers.
The 2020 presidential election was not stolen. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.

She couldn’t be clearer. Two sentences as a direct challenge to “anyone who claims,” meaning the MAGA leadership. She is going to expose them as much as possible. A great description of the context below:
As @MariannaReports [2] and I wrote this weekend, THE BIG LIE has become the big litmus test in the Republican Party. https://t.co/slevKKAq8t [3] https://t.co/Xw9affeVyc [4]

The responses on Twitter are fairly predictable, the MAGAs get defensive and vicious and citizens rooted in citizenship and facts support her no matter how weird. We start with a typical MAGA leader’s response to The Big Lie:
Election officials in at least six states violated the law in the administration of the 2020 election. That’s called cheating.
If you have the guts to debate me on this, name the time and place.
You know THEY poisoned the system, and R’s were spineless to hold them accountable. https://t.co/7I4nRLyMT8 [6]

Above, says the woman who lost every single lawsuit in which the judges asked for any proof. And the requisite MAGA viciousness:
The desperation from spawn of uniparty war pig is palpable and delicious!

Hilarious, below. There was no evidence, judges kept telling Trump’s lawyers. They invited the campaign to show them the evidence.
You know what’s odd, I don’t remember seeing you at any of the briefings where the evidence was presented by the legal team, and the various state legislators and citizens that came forward. Not only did you not see the evidence, you didn’t make an attempt to see the evidence. https://t.co/Xfmrvt4b05 [12]

Below, the litmus test:
You have totally lost sight of what’s real. And if you continue with this rhetoric from the “left”, then you’re not part of the Conservative base. Sorry, not sorry. There isn’t any room for traitors in our party! Bye. #thebiglie [14] https://t.co/sHok1i5CQI [15]

Yeah, Liz Cheney is not a conservative and non-conservatives are traitors. This is fascist language, see below:
Anti-Trump politicians keep saying “The Big Lie,” a phrase used as a propaganda technique by Hitler and Goebbels. I’d imagine they have enough staffers to come up with something original https://t.co/og02ab9hk9 [17]

And below, to top it off, new MAGA candidates coming, more radical, more fascist.
It’s amazing how the left is spewing the real conspiracy theories! They will not be able to dispute the facts! No matter how much propaganda and conspiracy theories they push! They are terrified of what is going to be revealed! Justice Will Come! Pain Is Coming! https://t.co/RyMp8ThmKC [19]
