In recent weeks, there has been much discussion about the January 6 insurrection orchestrated by Donald Trump and his supporters. Sadly, it looks like it has not worked since Cheney, who stood up for democracy in opposition to this fascist coup, lost her primary. — As a progressive Democrat, I never imagined I’d say, “Liz Cheney tried to save our democracy”. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump since the Capitol Insurrection, was ousted by Trump-backed Harriet Hageman from her seat in the House.
