Journalist Glenn Greenwald has voiced a great question: Why do the Cheneys hate Trump so? What’s the point of this animosity?
Why are they seemingly willing to self-destruct by throwing in with the democrats to achieve the common goal of destroying Donald Trump?
This from redstate.com.
Actually, this is a very easy question to answer. Def-Con News readers, you all know the answer to this one, but please read on.
As Glenn Greenwald observes, Trump came in fighting the neocons, calling out the Bush/Cheney worldview, and calling out Jeb Bush as the next in a long line of those who will play the system as usual. The Old-Party Republicans expected Jeb would win in 2016 and they have never recovered since.
Trump pulled the rug out from under Jeb. He came in talking about wanting to end foreign wars and the initiatives that have long sustained the status quo.
And, like the democrats, neocons have demonstrated hair-brained craziness ever since.
Most recently, Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) put out a campaign ad that featured her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. In the ad, Cheney claims that in the 246-year history of our nation, no individual has posed a greater threat than President Donald Trump.

Well, every Trump supporter throughout the United States, not just in Wyoming, saw just how unhinged this statement was.
[S]he’s pulling out the wrong card throwing this out there in the last days of the campaign, thinking that’s somehow going to help her in her campaign in Wyoming.
As we all know there simply was no room for improvement for Liz to make in her run for re-election. If anything, pitiful actions such as this can’t even garner her pity. People are pulling further away from her thinking that she is truly unhinged, if they already didn’t think that.
Dick Cheney also slipped up and made clear that their aim is about keeping Trump from becoming president again, just like [the aim of] the [d]emocrats.
In response, because that serves the anti-Trump democrat narrative, suddenly some on the left are embracing these comments from Dick Cheney.
We can anticipate campaign ads to run quoting Cheney. So, the man the democrats branded and demonized as the Darth Vader of the Republican Party has become their useful tool. And hence we see the workings of the proverb, ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend.’
What's the liberal explanation for why Dick and Liz Cheney hate Trump?
Is it that this duo — once called Nazis — are actually noble patriots of integrity and law?
Or is it that Trump campaigned on the most vocal denunciation of neocon foreign policy since Ron Paul – and won?

And here's the part of the discussion on *why* the Cheneys — with the Bushes — hate Trump so much. It's not because they're noble patriots who cherish the rule of law (
).
It's because Trump ran – and won – denouncing their neoconservative worldview, now the Dem worldview: pic.twitter.com/hYUhtGwE5V

Greenwald has reminded us that Trump expelled the “Bush-Cheney” ideology by denouncing them and he won, thereby changing the very nature of the Republican Party.
That’s why the Cheneys and the Bushes hate Trump, “petty dynastic vengeance,” Greenwald said.
The Fox host then responds how “principled” the left is when they align themselves with the neo-conservatives because the neo-conservatives are against Trump.
That’s why he’s truly “evil” to these people on both sides of the aisle, it has nothing to do with Jan. 6. They hated him way before that, indeed, ever since he won and that’s why. He upset the plan and showed it could be upset. That’s why he has to be crushed so that no one will ever dare to do that again.
But it’s too late—and neocons and democrats alike know this all too well. They know that closing the barn door and then padlocking it will do no good—the horse is already out and making quit a spectacle of things.
Not only is President Trump thankfully out amongst us giving us all tremendous hope of taking back Our Country, but dozens of other young shakers and movers are demonstrating their willingness to challenge the neocons.
The establishment cannot stop this movement.
Even at the expense of destroying Our Nation and themselves, the left will fight like feral hogs but they cannot win.
God speed to Conservatism.
