Donald Trump has become a catalyst for the making of unlikely bedfellows. Last night’s public appearance of Liz Cheney beside Kamala Harris, at the birthplace of the Republican Party, is a clear indication of just how serious many are taking the outcome of the upcoming election.
Cheney is as mainstream conservative as they come, yet she has made the decision to vote for the Harris-Walz ticket. She is, of course, anathema to the far-right zealots, but her temporary truce with Democrats means something. She’s not the only one who’s dared blur the lines of partisanship, and with good reason.
Even if some of the verbiage and claims are outsized and a bit hyperbolic regarding the danger of another Trump presidency, why would we as a nation find Trump-Vance at all palatable? Trump is a known quantity and has proven himself a pathetic, laughable misfit, not to mention a felon 34 times over. And Vance may be diabolical.
I don’t know if we can talk about “normal” going forward. But maybe we can revisit “reasonable” and “sane.”
