I don't think his legacy was the reason him or his daughter were kicked out of the Republican party. It was solely due to speaking out against Trump.

  A not insignificant reason for the rise of Trump were the forever wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which Cheney is directly responsible for.

    Odd that so few folks supposedly opposed to those wars appear to be speaking out against war with Venezuela.

      > Odd that so few folks supposedly opposed to those wars appear to be speaking out against war with Venezuela. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

      Venezuela and Nigeria have vast oil and rare earth deposits. Eh also Greenland. Hmm, there might be a pattern :)

      Do you actually not understand or is this a political quip? If you spend any time around normal Americans its really not surprising. Having thousands of soldiers stationed for a decade+ over seas in a war zone in a war of attrition with no real objective, is seen as very different than "bomb the commies bringing drugs into the country". US people are really anti war, very pro bombing communists, terrorists, and drug cartels. One puts American soldier's lives at risks, one doesn't. Go to your local working class dive bar and talk politics for an hour and it should clear up why this is a very popular move, but being in Afghanistan isn't.
