"YOU are the coward, Dick..." That paragraph is just so well-written as to be poetic.
As a lifelong Republican, the Bush-Cheney-&-Associates administration was what finally had so many red flags flying it was impossible to ignore, finally made me realize there was some serious rot in the right. I started calling Cheney "The Evil Incarnate" back in 2001. Was then, still is now. You're right - he's the last person anyone should parade out to the right to gain popularity points. Bush Jr, the dumb-ass fratboy, would be the second-to-last person anyone on the right should trot out for popularity points. Worse than mere RINOs; these beasts are evil to their very cores.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it! Truly.
Cheney came into the VP job right after stepping down as CEO of Halliburton if I I remember accurately. He left office with a 13% approval rating. If history has been kind to him since somehow I don't know about it. I can't remember any NYT opinion pieces opining for the good old Bush administration now that Trump had come to the party.
I have a certain mental image of him on television being interviewed, responding to jokes made by some comedian or pundit aimed at his other daughter: the lesbian one. Speaking in a grave tone at the thougght of coming after someone's family, as though it were below the belt. How fake and trashy, it reeked of hypocrisy. I remember a black backdrop, maybe he was on Charlie Rose.
Anyhow thanks for your story! I agree they were/are a whole different level of cruel and evil. As bad as the NeoLibs wielding power are today, it really doesn't hold a candle to the death and destruction the right-wing was able to generate during their last at bat. I count Obama as a war criminal and a disguised neocon himself too, however. I am beyond certain that if HRC had won, the doomsday clock would've struck midnight already. Obama was the break in the action designed to run up to it; the lower body count was merely a coincidental feature of timing.
As you said, MUCH WORSE than simple traitors. There's a darkness around all of them that's fearsome and palpable once you've awakened and can see.
While I agree that the death and destruction wrought by the B-C administration was beyond the pale and shockingly cruel, Cheney (and Bush, to a large extent) as close to a spawn of Satan as one can imagine, they're, imho, the worst of the right. They've always struck me as greedy, soulless geopolitical game-players who never cared about human "collateral damage". While these SOBs were prosecuting their wars, my heart went out to not only our brave soldiers sent in as canon fodder for these political beasts, but to the innocent Iraqi people being slaughtered in the crossfire. All so the military-industrial beasts could make more money.
They're not, however, as low as the left who, imho also, are and always have been downright sadistic. People like Hillary and Bill used to make me nearly shiver in disgust and Obama literally makes my skin crawl with revulsion. Pelosi is another of that ilk - these smooth-tongued, mealy-mouthed deceivers who spew flowery words at the masses while doing everything in their power to destroy humanity and society. They literally delight at cruelly crushing decent humans under their boots, in murdering them, making them and their families suffer, etc. There's a special kind of evil that comes from the left that's nearly palpable.
I remember watching one of the testimonials from the Walkaway campaign - largely comprised of disillusioned leftists who were turning their backs on that party - and one in particular was a young woman, maybe thirties, who had finally woken up to how bad and deceitful the demoncrap party is. She described the revulsion she had for Hillary, how utterly evil HRC is, in much the same way I feel. I know another lifelong democrat who left that party due to Hillary (and voted for Trump). Hillary herself is what made many on the left turn away from that party.
While you and I may disagree on our opinions on who wins the distinction of "Most Evil", we both, apparently, agree that if Hilldawg had won in 2016, billions of humans the world over would be dead by now, society destroyed and earth unrecognizable. Doomsday, as you say. It's shocking and sobering to realize just how damn close we came to being annihilated.

Godspeed friend.
