One can be sure that if a leftist is going to explain something, it will not be accurate, it will not clarify, and it will not be intended to impart information.
That's because leftists like Dr. Reich are only interested in The Narrative, that is, the talking points and bumper sticker slogans promulgated by Central Command. The Narrative is circulated throughout the media landscape every day, and writers, commentators, and news operations dutifully regurgitate it.
So Dr. Reich pretends to be a truth teller, but he's simply doing his duty to repeat The Narrative, spouting agitprop in service to The Agenda. The Agenda is the dismantling of the system. The system, being racist, unfair, and hurtful to the worker and minorities, must be replaced.
But in actual fact, none of these issues are actually important to the Left. They are simply excuses for advancing the leftist dream. So, nothing you will read below will be true, accurate, logical, or helpful.
This article is The Narrative, which facilitates The Agenda. The reader should keep this in mind at all times.
Lastly, Dr. Reich curiously wants to "help" the Republicans. But no leftist wants political competition. The Left always wants total power with no dissent. So all the help he offers is really designed to have an "opposition" that is more aligned with the Leftist agenda.
Leftists hate those who disagree. This means that should Dr. Reich get his way and actually get this new "sane" Republican party he and the Left would immediately commence attacking it as extreme, evil, and dangerous.
Oh, and we should also note that the sane always seem insane to the insane.
Last Tuesday, former Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney (Ms. Cheney was roundly rejected by Wyoming voters. That is democracy. But Dr. Reich does not believe in democracy, for if he did he would not be trumpeting the loser.)
tweeted this in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that the criminal indictments of Trump are politically motivated: (Putin gets it right once in a while.)
"Putin has now officially endorsed the Putin-wing of the Republican Party. Putin Republicans & their enablers will end up on the ash heap of history. Patriotic Americans in both parties who believe in the values of liberal democracy will make sure of it." (Notice the dishonesty of Cheney's remarks. A foreign leader happens to say something that a lot of Republicans believe, and that makes the Republican party aligned with Putin. This is why Cheney was sidelined. She thinks like and argues like a Leftist - dishonestly.)
In reality, the Putin wing of the Republican Party has taken over the Republican Party. (Oh. Interesting. That means there is no Putin wing, it's the majority of the party. Thus Cheney is criticizing the majority of her own [former] party. Which means she isn't representative of the majority of Republicans, which makes her a non-republican.)

The GOP no longer believes in the values of liberal democracy. (What is "liberal democracy," and when did the GOP ever believe in its values? What are these values? Dr. Reich casually makes these remarks as if they have meaning, but he never explains them.)
It has become a cesspool of authoritarian nihilism. (He does it again. What does this mean? Who has behaved in an authoritarian manner? What evidence is there that justifies the extreme charge of nihilism?
It strikes us how the Left are really the authoritarians. They are the ones who are actually silencing dissent, forcing people to say things they don't believe, forcing people to stay home under the guise of a virus, forcing people to lower their thermostats, forcing people to drive cars that spy on them, and forcing people to cede their constitutional rights at whim.)
As Mitt Romney told the Atlantic’s McKay Coppins, “a very large portion of my party really doesn’t believe in the Constitution.” (Discredited non-Republican number two.)
The GOP is now a rogue elephant — increasingly dangerous, out of control, and on a rampage. (Yet another vague charge leveled, again without reason, documentation, or even common sense.)
Knowing that most of the American public rejects it, (The reader should now be able to see the nature of the rhetoric of the Left. None of what Dr. Reich is accurate, none of it is explained, none of it is helpful or informative. Everything he writes is designed to mislead, inflame, and confuse. It is useless to attempt to refute, first because one cannot refute vague charges, and second because as a leftist he will simply repeat the same things tomorrow. That is the nature of The Narrative, that it simply ignores what happened yesterday. Today is a new day and a new opportunity to promulgate the inane slogans and talking points once again.)
it’s busily repressing votes through extreme partisan gerrymandering (False.)
and new barriers to voting. (False.)
Notwithstanding zero evidence of any wrongdoing by Joe Biden, (False.)
Notwithstanding zero evidence of any wrongdoing by Joe Biden, (False.)
it’s seeking to impeach him.
(Dr. Reich will now commence a tour de force of leftist bumper sticker claims, empty rhetoric, and vapid slogans. This is why we say leftists are impossible to refute. Each sentence he writes would require 1000 words to examine, analyze, and refute. And there are at least 20 of them in the remaining portion of his screed.
And for what? All he is doing is attempting to burnish the credentials of a failed politician who abandoned the principles of her party and threw in with the Democrats. Her voters sent her home, but she didn't learn a thing.
And now Dr. Reich has found a temporary hero in her. Not because he supports her or would vote for her, but rather because she's a useful tool to use in order to consolidate and increase the power of the Left.
He doesn't admire her. He despises her and anyone else who doesn't walk lock-step with the Leftist agenda. The Left will tolerate her as long as she's useful and then destroy her when she ceases to be so.
We shall cease our commentary here, since nothing that follows is useful or even interesting.)
Even though there’s still no basis for Trump’s big lie that he won the 2020 election, most Republican lawmakers continue to support it.
A growing number of House and Senate Republicans are questioning America’s commitment to defending Ukraine.
House Republicans are about renege on the deal they made before the debt ceiling was lifted, and shutter the U.S. government.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin Republicans are threatening to impeach a State Supreme Court justice who disagrees with their agenda. Tennessee Republicans have expelled Democratic lawmakers who supported an anti-gun protest.
Alabama Republicans are denying Black voters the opportunity to elect another representative to Congress. Florida Republicans have suspended an elected official because they don’t like their policies.
The GOP engaged in authoritarian antics before Trump (see: Gingrich, Newt), but Trump has pushed the Party over the edge, morally and politically.
Trump has so profoundly poisoned the Republican Party — filling it with election deniers, bigots, paranoids, and anti-democracy zealots — that it won’t recover its capacity to govern even after Trump leaves the stage.
Frankly, I don’t give a fig about the Republican Party. But I do care deeply about this nation. And America needs two major political parties capable of governing. Right now, only the Democratic Party has that capacity.
As long as the Trump Republican Party exists, it poses a profound danger to American democracy.
What should be done, and who should do it?
America needs a third party that stands for all the things conservative Republicans stood for before Gingrich and Trump — limited government, fiscal prudence, a strong defense against dictators and autocrats, and the stability and integrity of the nation’s major institutions.
Is Mitt Romney the person to start such a Real Republican Party? He’s now basking in the adulation of the Washington establishment because he had the courage to utter some truths about Trump when the former president was in power and just announced he won’t be running again.
But Romney is too elitist and too, well, 2012.
The person to lead it is Liz Cheney. She should run for president on a third-party Real Republican ticket.
I’m sure there are plenty of anti-Trump Republicans willing to support this effort. Some of them, I expect, have enough money to get the Real Republican Party on the ballot in most states. There’s still time.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not endorsing Liz Cheney for president. I’ve disagreed with too many of her policy ideas and votes over the years.
I’m merely suggesting that it would be good for all of us if she took the reins of a new Republican Party — good for Republicans, good for Democrats, good for democracy, good for America.
When it comes to the survival of American democracy, Liz Cheney has displayed more courage and integrity than any other member of her party.
Six days after the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol — when no other Republican in the House or Senate was willing to rebuke Trump — Cheney charged on the House floor that “the president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing.”
The next day, Cheney joined just nine other House Republicans and 222 Democrats in voting to impeach Trump. (Few, if any, of these principled Republicans remain in the House today. Most have resigned or been purged.)
Then, as vice chair of the House of Representatives’ January 6 committee investigating the causes of the January 6 attack, Cheney ceaselessly and tirelessly helped lay out the case against Trump.
To get revenge, Trump did everything possible to end Cheney’s career. He selected Cheney’s opponent in the 2022 Wyoming Republican primary, Harriet Hageman — who rallied behind Trump and amplified his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen — and made sure Hageman won.
I think it would be a fitting rebuke to Trump — as fitting politically as his criminal convictions will be legally — to have Liz Cheney create a new Real Republican Party that replaces the squalor of Trump’s (and Putin’s) GOP.
