The expulsion of Cheney for a non threatening female who will loudly endorse the big lie is their character revelation. They don't believe trump won the election. They know it's a lie. They are going along with it to ride the wave of Trump woke voters that worship him and got them to vote like they never have before. Trump was power drunk and now hung over while house and senate republicans are just power hungry as they ape the MAGA "transactionalism" with the knowledge that it's not a collection of ideas, values or a philosophy, it's a pat on the head from a golf cheat at his grifter palace in palm beach.
