You'd be happy someone ran up and scared off the first mugger, until they pull out a knife and also demand your wallet. Your still getting mugged, you just didn't expect it the second time. Hell, you could argue Cheney is worse because she'll do the same shit just less obvious so less people will care or even notice how bad she is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ptz@dubvee.org 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" or at least a temporary ally. There are times when two enemies can look at a third, common enemy and agree teamwork is the only way to survive. This is one of those times. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] djsoren19@yiffit.net -3 points 2 years ago No, that's how you get stabbed in the back because you took an alliance of temporary convenience over one built on stable foundations. Cheney wants the same dogshit future that Trump wants, she just wants to be quieter about it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ccunning@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) Well right now she’s still fighting off the first mugger. I’m not going to attack her until the first mugger has been dealt with and then only once she pulls her knife on me. If your point is to be wary that she may pull a knife, I agree. If your point is to fight off the mugger and her at the same time, I disagree. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (1 child) ...
