In the grips of monomania, psychotic people perseverate on their object of interest. They talk about their enthusiasm incessantly and believe, wrongly, that everyone else is similarly inclined. America’s establishment, left and right, and the media, are obsessed with Donald J. Trump. Trump’s tweets, his pretend press releases, his real ones, doesn’t matter. He occupies every neuron and inflames them. With each sweaty proclamation, the monomaniacs sound increasingly unhinged. Dick Cheney called Donald Trump the greatest threat to humanity and America and all that is good and decent. And also, he’s proud of his daughter because

Cheney has always been criminal. I'm so glad some in the press have finally noticed!

Back during George W's and Dick Cheney's administration, Cheney tried to defend illegal immigration with the reasoning "Americans won't do those jobs" and he lost my respect and support at that time. Elitists think so lowly of Americans but so highly of themselves.

Dick, it’s time you take your messed up daughter by the hand and take her and yourself off the public stage. You both are national embarrassments.

FTA: “ D.C. elites focus on Trump while the country suffers. It’s no wonder you’re hated. It’s no wonder there’s Trump.”
In my mind’s eye, this quote is describing a weasel like Kevin McCarthy who is actively sending massive amounts of money to support his fellow Rinos who have been a disaster for American citizens. There is a dark underbelly in the Republican Party and it is anti-Trump and is all in for the status quo that, as the author stated, has created the need for someone to stand up and put Americans first. Americans are grateful that Donald Trump stood up and put himself out there to change things and make this country great again. The McCarthy’s, McConnell’s, Cheney’s and Romney’s and the rest of the old guard must be removed in order to end the corruption and begin the work of putting this country back on track. They have nothing to offer but more of the same ol’, same ol’. We have been shown a better way by President Trump and will not settle for less.

I'd say that Dick passed his shelf-life about a dozen years ago, or as Don Imus used to say, "Dog track time, Dick!"

Go, Melissa, go! Don't hold back. It's the Hunger Games administration of the Uniparty. And the next "insurrection" won't be mostly peaceful.

Many People dislike Trump because of his manner. They fail to even look at his accomplishments in office. Democrats hate him because of his masterful performance while in office. Trump was a professional manager while President, solving many difficult problems, making things better for all the people. And he made it look easy. Biden solves nothing, just creates many more problems, for all the people. And Many people would still rather have Biden as president!

At the time, we viewed W, Cheney, Romney, et. al. as the best thing going. The years have not been kind.

FTA, the very last sentence, "D.C. elites focus on Trump while the country suffers. It’s no wonder you’re hated. It’s no wonder there’s Trump."
Any questions?
Incidentally, Dick Cheney looks possessed in the pic contained in Melissa's piece.

#15, the pic is a still shot from the latest Cheney campaign commercial. If you haven't seen it, please search for it and watch it. It is unbelievable. These haters have absolutely lost their minds!!!
This article is great and explains the mindset of Trump supporters perfectly! Awesome job Melissa Mackenzie!

There are a lot of Liz Cheney’s in Washington. Arrogant globalists who ignore their constituents like they don’t exist. She was hinting at running for President. That’s how delusional these people are. We are at a tipping point in America. We are all somewhat guilty of letting this happen through complacency and denial. All is not lost but if we don’t all act single mindedly to rid DC of this poison it soon will be.

Here's another reason why we love President Trump...he kept his campaign slogan...PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT! President Trump did what he said he would do after his election. What a concept!
How many politicians do you know that after being elected, don't kept one single promise that they made while campaigning? They disappointed us and lied to us. Not President Trump. He keeps his word.

As President Trump has said himself, they don't really hate him - they hate us and he's just in the way. Trump is Every American Man and Woman. Trump is truly the representative of the people. That is why he, and we, are such an existential threat to their way of life and their plans for the future control of the world. Obviously, they are willing to burn it all down. Our challenge is to fight them and preserve our Constitution at the same time. We can only do that if we are grounded in the faith of our fathers. We must also reclaim our churches at the same time we reclaim our state houses.

They sure do. There are many on both sides of the Trump divide who suffer monomania. For too many "real conservatives" there is only one true path. Like those other crazies, they wear those sandwich boards, too: “The end is nigh! Get right with the Lord and support Trump!”
Where are the similarly-minded McCainiacs, Romneybots and Dubya-as-GOAT characters now?

I wonder if the anti-Trumpers have ever realized they might have fared better if they had simply ignored him. One of the biggest reasons to vote for Trump is because Washington hates him so much. The other big reason is Trump actually has a plan while most Republicans do not. Republican strategy seems to be follow Democrat strategy.
One factor on who will get my vote is who will be most likely to handle Washington. They have to be a fighter, but they have to know how to fight Washington. Washington got the better of Trump last time. Hopefully he changes his strategy. He will have to if he wants to be successful. Doubt brute force strategy will work. He can fire all of the Washington bureaucrats, but will he find honest competent people to take their place? Also, he cannot fire Congress. He has to find ways to work around them or manipulate them to get what he wants. Not sure that is even possible. Doubt they will work with him.

In the longer run of history, Trump will be the hero who turned over the rock that is DC and let us see all the horrible, nasty little creatures living under that rock.
All these "conservatives" who are so insanely deranged about Trump are angry because he has exposed their game.
Trump's greatest accomplishment is to unmask all the fraudulent "conservatives" who were working with the Uniparty to destroy the USA. They will never forgive him for this unmasking, and we now need to hunt every one of them down and force them far away from DC and the levers of power.

Yes, they betrayed the Tea Party, laughed at it along with their media Dem and friends , and they sat back and watched Trump be attacked endlessly. I often say, Americans don’t hate Lord Cornwallis but they revile Benedict Arnold.
Since Reagan we held our noses to various degrees in every election and went along with them, the ‘reasonable Republicans’, but in 2016 we said try it our way for a change and they said no. And even after it was spectacularly successful they still said no in 2020.

Any shreds of respect I ever had for Cheney went out the window after seeing his ad for Tin Lizzie. May they both rot in the political dumpster after November.
