I wonder how widely RW populist Trumpism has spread through the overall Republican movement.Liz Cheney (daughter of D!ck), Republican member of Congress since 2017 who was re-elected in 2020 with 73% of the vote, has lost her primary to a Trumpist. Cheney has been a leading critic of Drumpf and a member of the January 6 commission.
She's still very much a neocon but not on board with the Republican shift to RW delusional f*ckwittery. Talking of a potential presidential run herself. Very popular across the country.
For instance, in the deep red states, it seems it might be well entrenched. However I’m no expert on Republican Primaries. So I am wondering what the dynamics are in the Republican movement outside the deep red states. And hence, how a Cheney type would fare in the Republican Primaries in the large blue states (California, NY etc). Would winning those states conjure up enough Republican Primary votes to make the overall Republican Primary winnable for a Cheney type?
