I think it more that the other option is just that insane. It's not as much a left vs right thing. It's a business as usual vs. Chaos election. Cheney being in favor of someone playing by the normal rules isn't that surprising.
Cheney is an absolute ghoul, but I don't doubt that the neocon stupidity he embraced during the Bush administration was at least partly out of a desire for America to remain 'top dog'.
Trump is sitting here ready to quite literally sell our position to Russia and China.
It's a WW2 moment. The Soviets and the Western Allies join hands, because even though each thinks the other is fucking terrible, there's a more vile foe afoot.
Yeah, there's the effect Cheney and his gang all having American supremacy as their goal, with them and their corporate fuck-buddies specifically on top of the heap. In their own particularly fucked kind of way, they did care about America or something.
Trump and his ilk... They believe in fucking NOTHING. I'm not even convinced their goal, at its core, is even self-enrichment. I'm pretty well convinced the whole movement is just extremely self-destructive mental illness metastasisized into a political party.
I doubt any two of Trump's team members have the same goals. It's like a clown car full of grifters, con men, psychopaths, power seekers and snake oil salesmen.
