Former Vice President Dick Cheney will be crossing party lines for this election and voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to his daughter.
If you had told me during the Bush years that there would be a Republican so evil even Dick Cheney wouldn't vote for them I may have jumped off a bridge.
I'd guess something like he hates that Trump and MAGA in general keep getting cozy with Russia. And they've displaced inner circle NeoCon pals along the way.
Or you've been propagandized so much that you think fucking Dick Cheney being on your side is somehow a good sign and it doesn't even give you a moment's pause. He is still an evil piece of shit and anything he is advocating for deserves at least some examination.
And I suppose you hate dogs, merely because Hitler loved them?
Or maybe you can acknowledge that the morality of an action is independent of the morality of the person making the action? Dick Cheney is making the morally correct decision by endorsing Harris, but that doesn't make him a good guy any more than liking dogs made Hitler one.
Too little too late Dick. This is the culture war road you set us upon. There are thousands upon thousands dead for your outright lies. Voting against Trump doesn't wash the blood from your hands.
This guy wouldn't even vote for his own daughter's best interests. That says alot. Both about his fucked up priorities and the state of the republican party.
I dunno, in almost all circumstances I agree that he should just keep his mouth shut and thankful no one is pursuing him for warcrimes .... But in this instance, he's not going to sway anyone to vote Trump by endorsing Kamala and he might influence some Republicans to cross lines or abstain. Really hard to see this specific act as anything other than a potential good (not altruistic, but still, in balance for the world, neutral to good).
I doubt they'll be public about it, but I doubt Bush is voting for Trump. I can't for the life of me remember how many other living republican ex presidents there are, but if any are still kicking, I doubt any of them (being old school conservatives) would vote trump.
W didn't vote for Trump in 2020 and said his dad voted against Trump before he died as well so you're definitely correct. W is now the only living GOP president other than Trump.
