The Cost Of Principle
It is hard to remember that sometimes standing for the right thing can cost one dearly. We like to think in America that fairness will win out, but we are naïve. Liz Cheney did the right thing by serving on the Jan. 6 committee investigating the Trump-led insurrection. For that, she is about to lose her primary election. She stood for principle but that makes no difference. Her voters are in Trump's camp. History might vindicate her but she is about to be out of a job. She has been unable to persuade Republican voters that Trump is a dangerous politician. They are blindly following him, believing his lies and reveling in his bombast. One Congresswoman is not enough to topple him from his privileged hold on the party. All her communications about Trump have gone for naught.
