There are some sites that let you quickly compare voting records.
Cheney vs Kevin McCarthy
Before Jan 6, they agreed on votes about 95% of the time.
After Jan 6, they did not see eye to eye as often, only about 90% of the time.

Cheney vs AOC
Before Jan 6, they agreed about 30% of the time, about 40% after.

You can check whatever rep you want. I checked about a half dozen MAGA people, and she still agress with most about 90+ % of the time. While she seems to hate Trump personally, she doesn’t really disagree much with Team MAGA as a whole.
Yep “moderate” republicans only disagree with maga Republicans being loud about the quiet parts.
They still want that stuff, they just think someone like trump attracts too much attention and what they were already doing was working fine.
So normalizing Cheney makes her more dangerous. Say trump is imprisoned or dead before the election and Cheney gets the nom. She’ll do all the stuff trump would have, but people wouldn’t be as motivated to hold their nose and vote for Biden.
The worst thing that can happen to Biden’s chances, is trump not running.
That’s the reason “moderate” republicans are speaking out against trump. It’s not because it’s the right thing, it’s because he’s a liability.
The scariest part to me is that no one has cared about the brazenness of Trump’s actions. No one has worked any harder to stop him than any other white collar criminal. His lack of concern for his image and reputation has allowed him to “accomplish” more than the previous R presidencies.
Can you imagine if he had someone capable like a younger Kissinger working for him? The only saving grace we had was most of his cronies are only as smart as he is. Not that it takes a genius to be the bull in the China shop, but if we let people with half a brain take the same opportunities, we are done.
The Trump presidency has shown our country is very willing to accept a fascist leader. Maybe not quite ready enough, but way too close for comfort.
