The conveniently unstated fact here is that nearly all “Champions of War” became “Voices of Resistance” — and leaders of it at that! — when Trump defeated Bush in 2016 on a platform of ending wars. There’s no “journey” here. They became “Resistance” *because* they championed war.

During Bush 43, Dick Cheney was at least as hated in liberal circles as much as Trump is now. He was maligned (validly) as a fascist, war profiteering, sociopathic, corrupt monster.

But all sins evaporate if you just denounce Trump. Thus does Cheney die as a Resistance Hero.
