This isn't about Trump; if it was, Cheney would have been out shortly out after being one of only ten Republicans to vote in support of his second impeachment.  The issue with Cheney is that she has nicer things to say about Biden and the Democrats than she does her own party.  You can believe her criticisms are valid, but the GOP cannot deliver a unified opposition message as long as Cheney is throwing bombs from the inside.  Forcing her out is the only logical conclusion to what she has brought upon herself. 

They're cancelling her because of her conservative beliefs.

This, but unironically.  Cheney is much more conservative than Stefanik according to the Heritage Foundation rankings, for example.  It's mind-curdling to watch partisan Democrats come to the defense of Cheney in this instance.

Are you saying you want her in the Democratic Party?  lmao

That partisan Democrats would welcome Liz Cheney with open arms shows how reflexively animated they are by (anti-) Trumpism

Yes clearly “The Democrats” would welcome Liz Cheney with open arms. After all, one guy on the Internet said it. He speaks for literally all of us.

The New York Times has run no less than three profiles on Liz Cheney in the past eight weeks, including a story that ran this morning under this editorializing headline: "House Republicans Have Had Enough of Liz Cheney's Truth-Telling."  That's some pretty positive framing to be coming from the all-liberal-all-the-time NYT, given Cheney's leading role in actually orchestrating and passing Republicans' legislative agenda during Trump's time in office (she turned on him only once he was a lame duck.)

As has been proven these past six years, the only criterion for becoming a hero to Democrats is superficially rebuffing Trump's most bafoonish and offensive impulses.  Democrats won slim majorities in 2018 and 2020 with campaigns that amounted to nothing more serious than simple character assassination, and they have the contorted messaging on immigration, race/gender and taxes to show for it.  Y'all are standing around applauding Liz Cheney because what she represents (i.e., vacuous overtures against Trump and Trumpism) is the only animating principle you have left.
