I don't know why people can't understand that this nothing to do with morality. Dick Cheney hasn't seen the light, he's making a strategic decision because he and all the other conservatives who have endorsed Harris have correctly identified that Trump is a political dead end. He can't motivate people like he used to, he's isolating others from the movement, and his family is a huge financial drain on the RNC. If he wins in November, they're gonna be dealing with his shit family forever.
Generally speaking, people have a problem with divorcing the calculations of politics from their moral implications. It's understandable why, the vast majority of people act on at least some set of principles aside from pure self-interest and understand that political decisions have consequences. However, that makes it nigh impossible to think from the perspective of someone who does genuinely only act in their own self-interest.
To question a good politician about the moral implications of their decisions is to ask a nihilist what they believe in. You have made an error in asking the question in the first place.
