Trump, who has remained silent thus far on the schism, faces a quickly deepening conflict between his richest and most powerful advisors on one hand, and the people who swept him to office on the other.

All this is stupid. But I know one thing:

Trump is a billionaire.

And I predict his followers are going to learn who he’ll side with when push comes to shove.

Also, Bannon’s take is interesting:

Bannon tells Axios he helped kick off the debate with a now-viral Gettr post earlier this month calling out a lack of support for the Black and Hispanic communities in Big Tech.

    His followers are largely blue-collar, and have never heard of, nor care about H1B.

      Apparently they do, as it’s getting tons of engagement.

      It’s kinda like the trans bathroom/sports issue… Realistically, it hardly affects non trans people at all, but the idea makes a big stink anyway.

      Turns out MAGA’s rage culture doesn’t have an off switch.

      Software engineering employs a lot of people. Quite a few of them are qons, too. You can be sure that a whole lot of engineers know what H-1B is.
