It was Dick Cheney’s job. Arnold Schwarzenegger did it. Adam Kinzinger did it, of training. But did Jeff Flake. Mike Pence walked right up to the edge but ultimately declined to take the plunge, but even George W. Bush’s daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and Dick Cheney’s notorious daughter Liz ( that is, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Jan. 6 ) jumped right in. And then, Liz Cheney is urging former president George W. Bush to visit the uniparty and support Kamala Harris ‘ candidacy for president.  ,

Late on Friday night, Fox News learned that Liz made her argument on The New Yorker Radio Hour, which was a suitable platform for an establishment spokesperson to visit a former chairman to reacquaint himself with his dedication to that establishment. The New Yorker is a wall of the political and media wealthy category, which makes Donald Trump such a potent threat.
Cheney questioned why Bush had n’t now stepped up for Kamala. ” I ca n’t explain why George W. Bush has n’t spoken out”, she said,” but I think it’s time, and I wish that he would”. Fox information, however, that” the previous leader and his wife, Laura, have said they have no plans to accept a political candidate”. Even that was a semi-endorsement of Harris, as it was obvious in the extraordinary that the nineteenth Republican president in history was refusing to support the eighteenth in the latter’s campaign for election.  ,
Remember that during the Obama administration, Bush resolutely remained silent, quickly declining to condemn his successor. But, when Trump took office, Bush unapologetically decided that criticizing the former senator was acceptable.

Whether or not Bush heeds Cheney’s contact, the resignations have not all been on one area. Nothing can compare to the scene of a descendant of Democrat nobility, a brother of Robert F. Kennedy himself, and the person who bears his name, Donald Trump, despite the fact that a significant number of prominent Republicans have endorsed Harris and the Democrats endorsing him are fewer than that. Then there is Elon Musk, who just a few years previously called Trump a “dumb**s”, and a former member for the Democrat nomination for president, Tulsi Gabbard.
Not just a few valves on either side of the coin. We are in the midst of a political realignment unlike anything we have seen since the 1850s ( which, ironically, was the run-up to the Civil War ). For about thirty years until that stormy decade, America had two major parties, the Democrats and the Whigs. Eventually, however, the slavery problem became so heated that the old social orientations were no longer important.
Both the Democrat and Whig events had Northern and Southern arms, and so pro-slavery and anti-slavery groups. This became impossible to sustain as servitude inevitably became the describing problem of American politics. In 1854, a group devoted to the abolition of slavery, the Democratic party, was founded, the Whig party disintegrated as anti-slavery Whigs joined the new group and pro-slavery Whigs joined the Democrats. However, as yet North Democrats embraced the idea of “popular sovereignty”, which held that any state or territory may include slavery if they voted for it, anti-slavery Democrats and Whigs joined the Republicans.

Donald Trump’s supporters have decried the “uniparty,” the Washington establishment of Democrats and country-club Republicans who support the status quo and do n’t believe there is ever a need to make America Great Again, ever since the Republican party’s John McCain/Mitt Romney wing of the party first elected him president in 2016 amid fierce internal opposition. Between Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell on the one hand and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi on the other, there did n’t ( and still does ) seem to be what George Wallace once called” a dime’s worth of difference.”  ,

However, the supporters of the freedom of speech, the right to carry arms, and the capacity of Americans to live their lives without the all-powerful, all-pervasive interference of the Nanny State have been gravitating to Trump. This social rebalancing is comparable to what was happening in America in the 1850s, and it might even be even more significant. Whatever titles they may keep, the events of the post-Trump age are shaping up to be one that stands for statism, socialism, and ideology and another that maintains freedom, personal rights, and American independence.
George W. Bush may rise Liz Cheney’s urgings to embrace Kamala Harris, it would be pleasant, yet, for him to reaffirm publicly his determination to liberty, individual rights, and American independence. Whether that is as essential a goal to Bush as it should be, but, remains unclear.
