I’m curious whether your Mom meant that as:

  1. Haley & Cheney are publicly avowed members of the Democratic Party, always have been, and anyone who says otherwise is just confused.

  2. Haley & Cheney are literally secret members of the Democratic Party just shilling as real Rs.

  3. Haley & Cheney are really members of the Republican Party, but are so far left of being “good” Rs that they may as well be Democrats.

All of those ideas are wacky, but you can see how much more unhinged door #1 is than door #3.

And I’m not picking on your Mom as such. She’s almost certainly just spouting what she’s been told to spout, so there are doubtless millions of people holding the same factually mistaken beliefs.

My own Mom died in 2006, so after Limbaugh and Hannity got big but before Trump. She’d totally gone down the RW rabbit hole then and I have no doubt that were she alive today she’d be a raging MAGAt. Sigh.

Those bastards have a lot to answer for.
