The “winners” of capitalism are lonely, unhappy, and destructive. They can’t even perform faux-happiness. That’s what fascism brings to the forefront. Capitalism is annihilation and it steals everything human and good and juices it of all its worth. These assholes are instructive, cautionary tales.

If the endpoint of capitalism is to be a self-destructive and miserable asshole, it gives the game away and depowers the incentive. And every one of these oligarch dickriders, with their infinite scams and cringe self-promotion and transparent boasts, only fuels the realization.

MTG and castoff Never Trump Republicans are not your allies. They’re not joining your coalition unless your coalition has the purpose of turning the Democratic Party into the GOP that gave birth to MAGA.

Trump is a symptom of a larger disease and things will get worse if we keep believing he is an aberration rather than the evolution of a long, tireless antidemocratic project.
Amnesia in this will only deliver us to worse things. Let Cheney’s poisonous legacy be a monument to what we cannot brook.

As we wait today to see whether a leftist can defeat the Right and establishment Democrats, Cheney’s overdue passing is an opportunity to see how just far we have slid into fascism and how easily moderates can launder mass death and antidemocratic projects.
Never forget this. Remember it always.

The embrace of Bush and Cheney by the Democrats was a canary in the coal mine moment and it should never be forgotten. To see this mass murderer eulogized and see the historical record twisted is an insult and a signal that a vast sea change is necessary if we are to have a better future.

You don’t get Trump without Bush or Reagan or the relentless antidemocratic assault of traditional Republicans. That Cheney and other Never Trumpers could be held up as examples when they are guilty of midwifing this fascist moment is an indictment of this country and a warning signal.

Cheney was the worst of us and the world would have been better if he had never lived. This compulsion to launder the war crimes, the selling of the state to private interests, the authoritarian groundwork he built, is a confession by moderates of their own complicity and guilt.
