The ouster of Liz Cheney from her House leadership position for refusing to accept Trump’s Big Election Lie is a frightening turning point in an already chaotic, political year. The GOP has abandoned all pretense of caring about democracy and has shackled itself to an insane, conspiracy driven, illiberal movement that threatens to destroy the party. This is all happening amidst an emboldened Trump who has triumphantly and aggressively shaped the party in his own image; purging any all dissent. The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur joins Mea Culpa to help Michael predict what will happen next.
