I have had people tear my ass up on multiple occasions for trying to remind people that Liz Cheneys anti-trump performance does not, in fact, make her a good person.
That she is still, at her core, a republican piece of shit.. and her saying one thing that I agree with (That Trumps a threat) does not make her a good person.
I am 100% not surprised that she secretly tried to protect one of Trumps biggest anchors on the supreme court, who is vital for their 2025 goals and seizing of power.
Because she, like all republicans, are performative assholes who say whatever they think will get them more support and power.
Oh, she's definitely not a lovely person politically, she wants the gop to run things but just doesn't want fascists to run the gop and do away with democracy.
Currently it's just an alliance of convenience, much like how we allied with Stalin in WW2. We can go back to fighting with conservatives after the fascist wannabes are beaten in the upcoming election. First things first, priorities are important.
Well said. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Or as that war criminal Henry Kissinger said, "there are no allies, only temporarily-shared interests."
