Houses are trees, flowers are stone, and Liz and Dick Cheney are small-c conservatives, not warmongering statists.
“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart asked Tim Walz on Monday night about his campaign using the neocon Cheneys as political props to win over liberal, moderate Republicans in battleground states like Pennsylvania and Michigan. Walz tried to dodge and bring up other endorsements, including Taylor Swift’s. But when Stewart, to his credit, pressed further, the vice presidential nominee offered an utterly delusional defense and claimed the Cheneys would actually “give permission” to libertarians, constitutionalists and the “Don’t Tread on Me folks” to vote for his ticket.

Tim Walz just defended embracing Dick and Liz Cheney’s endorsements, claiming they ‘give permission’ to libertarians, constitutionalists, and ‘don’t tread on me’ folks to cross over.

No libertarian in their right mind would vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, no matter how hard Democrats try to brand themselves as the party of freedom. Sure, it’s possible a registered Republican who lives in Fairfield County, Connecticut, works on Wall Street and has a house in the Hamptons, will pull the lever for the Harris-Walz ticket on Election Day. But the man who lives in rural Michigan, flies a Gadsden Flag on his back porch and listens to Ron Paul’s “Liberty Report,” would sooner vote for Jill Stein than Harris.

The Harris-Walz campaign is making a high-risk gamble by appealing to disaffected Republicans rather than their most die-hard, devoted activists, who tend to be anti-war — especially with their campaign in Michigan. The Daily Caller has reported on the activist group in the battleground state, Drive for 75, which is composed of Muslim Americans and socialists angry with the Biden-Harris administration’s policy toward Israel’s war in Gaza. Hell-bent on sabotaging Harris, the group might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and delivers the Wolverine State to Trump.

And woe to liberals like Jon Stewart who still haven’t figured out that their party has changed drastically in the past decade. The party Stewart knew in the Bush and early Obama years is long gone, replaced by the very elements and types of politicians the comedian has railed against his entire career.
