Liz Cheney should be lionized for her principled stand, precisely because in modern American politics it is so rare and refreshing. Valuing truth over tribal loyalty is a principle Americans should all agree on. We can appreciate her stand without agreeing with and supporting her political beliefs. Your basic premise is that we should fail to acknowledge that she did the right thing because she's not a member of your tribe, and she doesn't support your political preferences. In my opinion, that's simply wrong. That's tribal hatred, choosing to ignore the good in people who aren't a member of your tribe. It's the primary force dividing our country, and I don't agree with your embrace of it.
