Why is Liz Cheney more outspoken in attacking Trump than many lawmakers on the left?
Example of headlines today: Liz Cheney says that Trump is unfit for office and 'clearly can never be anywhere near the Oval Office ever again.'
She has the guts, the focus, the ferocity to speak out against that vile creature who is still plotting to destroy American democracy. Quite right that any lawmaker should do that, and shameful that Trump has anyone on the right who still supports him, but why is Liz Cheney more outspoken than many lawmakers on our own side? Shouldn't they all be yelling this from the rooftops every day?

1. I strongly disagree.
I think many on the left, are saying the same thing and have been since before the asshat was elected. Cheney gets more attention, due to who she is and the fact that she's a Republican.

3. Yep
Why doesn't the left get out a concise clear message? Because even if we have one we don't have the enormous right-wing or corporate sponsored messaging infrastructure that's been put in place over the past few decades.
Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff have been saying the same shit for years now. As have others.

4. I'll bet her dad hates trump too.
So many of the repubs who said trump was unfit for POTUS before he was elected reversed
course after the election and now kiss his ample ass. But I'll bet Dick Cheney still hates him.

5. Her days are numbered in the GOP so she has nothing to lose, but she can make a mark in US history.
