A professor writing a book about Liz Cheney says that her primary loss is a symptom of a larger battle within the GOP.
In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Saturday, a professor of government at a California college said thatWyoming is an example of the right's new obsession with identity.
The term "conservative" doesn't mean anything anymore in the Republican party.
Someone who is deeply committed to Donald Trump and his style of politics is what it will mean.
Cheney was defeated in the Wyoming primary by a woman who was supported by Donald Trump. "This is a fight for all of us together," Cheney said in her concession speech. The congresswoman thinks that Trump is responsible for the Capitol attack because he lied about it.
The fight Cheney was a part of was the tip of a larger factional fight being waged at the state level.
Tudor Dixon in Michigan is one of the places where the pro-Trump Republicans have made inroads.
"Any deviation from what the state GOP believes will put one at high-risk of being censorship is what the right has adopted," he said.
The professor said that Cheney was an example of this. The Wyoming GOP decided not to recognize Cheney as a party member.
The authors traveled across the state for their upcoming book about Liz Cheney's Wyoming and the future of the American Right.
The professors wrote in the New York Times that the pro-Trump politicians' style of politics may contain the seeds of their destruction.
The op-ed said that any party that symbolism over governing could cause mass revolt.
