    Wow, lots of people on Lemmy just look at screenshots of text and dont read anything anymore.

    I dont think he said anything controversial. Read what he wrote.

    He’s not supporting Trump or the Republican party in general. He is calling them out for selecting someone good on antitrust. That’s not controversial.

      Read what he wrote. He said Dems used to be for the little guy and the Republicans were for big business but now the tables have turned…

      So now the Republicans, party of billionaires, is for the little guy and Dems are for big business?

      Controversial no doubt.

        … Are you seriously claiming the dem party is not a party of billionaires? Soros? Gates? Bloomberg? Hoffman?? I could go on.

        What little business policies have Dems put in place? Seems to me the biggest dem states absolutely demolished small businesses during COVID, and have not done a gd thing to rebuild them.

        Bush-era republicans haven’t done a gd thing for small businesses either, don’t get me wrong, but it’s so dumb to say the Dem party is for the little guy.

        How is that controversial? Harris lost because she was so fucking pro-corporate. Same thing happened to Hilary.

        They’re both pro-corporate parties, and breaking up the trusts is progress.

          They lost because they tried to convince trumpers to vote for them, ignoring everyone else.

            No, they lost because they were so obsessed with telling us how bad Trump is they completely ignored their failed economy, and that people would be voting for someone to do better with the economy.

          Yeah, but surveillance is also high on the fascist agenda, so you’d think a company pitching privacy would be more concerned about approving of anything they do.

            Surveillance is different than suppression. Yes, they usually go hand-in-hand, but the issue everyone was up in arms about is the censorship part, by the surveillance part.

            He didn’t say Trump has good policies on surveillance. The two corporate parties in the US are terrible on privacy.

              He said the tables had completely turned, that the Reps were now supporting the small guy. It’s idiotic at best, dishonest at worst, to assume that such praise will change anything about the fact that the incoming US regime will seek to undermine Proton’s stated objective and prime selling point. Even if they somehow followed through on those antitrust expectations, I have no doubt it would double back into serving corporate dragons in the end.
