To what extent do you agree or disagree with Liz Cheney's statement that the United States is "sleepwalking into dictatorship"?

Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination, has threatened to "root out" his political enemies if he returns to the White House, telegraphing a sweeping overhaul of the federal government and criminal prosecutions for some of his opponents. "People who say 'well, if he's elected, it's not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances' don't fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted," she added. How confident are you in the checks and balances within the U.S. government to prevent any potential misuse of power in the event of Trump's return to the White House?

Cheney made a public exit from Congress last year after attacking her own party for supporting Trump. She lost in her August 2022 primary to now-Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) after being one of the most vocal Republican critics of Trump and his role in the insurrection. Do you think politicians should take a stand against their own party if they disagree with its direction, even if it means risking their political career?
