This is why it matters regarding Cheney

[angrychair]

Below is the danger in normalizing or apologizing for Cheney. For even praising her. People are stupid and most people are not as politically astute as most people on this site. They don't understand nuances.
Cheney is a xenophobic, bigoted racist gun nut that voted with trump 99% of time. She is NOT a moderate.

1. Nevertheless, "Divide and conquer" becomes "Let them divide that we may conquer."

3. Still better than having her support dump.

One crack in an iceberg can blow the whole thing open.

It’s possible to be all those votes and still be politically savy. She’s taking her chance. Let’s see how I plays out.

4. Are you suggesting that nintendo ennui, whoever that is, along with the other tweets

are some kind of consensus? Do you even know if they are republicans, Democrats, or independents?

I suggest it might be instructive to watch the House oversight hearing on the response to the January 6 insurrection, where the republicans in the House are actually defending the insurrectionists, along with trump. That is the real danger of what is happening

9. nintendo ennui was only posting the other people's chat

Not agreeing with it.

[JohnSJ]

10. I understand that Celerity, my point was that it is anecdotal, and not necessarily an accurate

reflection

[Celerity]

11. but that is not what you said

Are you suggesting that nintendo ennui, whoever that is, along with the other tweets are some kind of consensus?

nintendo ennui is not part of any possible consensus, they were just posting a conversation between 2 ratfuckers

I understand your 'consensus' point and anecdotal nature of it all, I was simply trying to show that nintendo ennui is not a part of the assholes.

[JohnSJ]

12. No doubt my wording was less than adequate, and I realized the distinction you were making that

nintendo was just conveying an observation on twitter with some examples.

[Celerity]

13. all good, sorry if I sounded pedantic

[JohnSJ]

14. You weren't. You always stimulate my thought process in your posts, thanks

5. Who called her a moderate?

[angrychair]

6. These people in my OP

They are saying that VP Harris and Cheney should run for president and VP together (with Harris as president).

That is INSANE. Cheney is an unhinged loon. She no more cares about democracy than she cares about her sister.

8. Re: nuance

Did you notice how few responses?

[AlRay]

15. We should be rooting for the Liz Cheneys of the country to take back the GOP.

I’d rather have her in the Republican Party than in the Democratic Party, and I’d rather have Trump and his cultists banished from politics altogether. Sounds like a win-win to me!

16. Right now Trump supporters are the problem. If Cheney ran for office her record would come out

right now the reason she is being praised is for ONE thing which DOES deserve praise though I don't consider her heroic but more just right .

And these are a couple people without anyone really responding or agreeing . I don't think people who like AOC and Kinszinger are a problem as much as people that continue to support Trump.
