This post makes me respect Proton even more. It’s a well articulated position.
What happens when you polish a turd?
Oh, yeah, you get that pandering word vomit of an “articulated” position.
Any American who thinks they have a hero in Washington has been had. As the great George Carlin said, “It’s a big club, but you ain’t in it.”
With Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk all leading Trump around with a $100 bill on a fishing line, you’d have to be profoundly naive or dishonest to actually take the stance that Republicans will do anything about Big Tech.
Imagine losing your shit because a company’s big guy likes something you don’t? If you saw better laws for what you want by P1 instead of P2 would you not like P1 more?
Funny thing is, the way this is phrased seems to me the person complaining is part of the issue.
The complete and absolute refusal that something is someone good may lie in the whole of the Trump administration is part of the issue. The extreme polarisation of dems vs reps is part of the issue, and the exact reason some voted trump, because, well, at least he’s red.
Not understanding that someone may recognize this, and speaking out about anyone who does, leads to more polarisation.
And what happens with enough division ? What is to be gained to spew hatred on your fellow countrymen ?
If you really think your opinion is superior, don’t yell at others, explain and share. Don’t judge hastily.
In this post I don’t see the proton CEO as a MAGA supporter, I see someone who recognizes something good in a context that cannot be changed. (Like it or not, Trump won and will be president legally for the next 4 years).

In a vacuum, he may be right that Gail Slater is a good pick for Assistant AG for the Antitrust Division. I don’t know much about her; she might be a killer antitrust lawyer. She’s still an antitrust lawyer under Trump. Praising Republicans for backing her is like finding a 20 dollar bill in a 10 ton pile of manure. You’re 20 dollars richer, but you had to dig through thousands of pounds of cow shit to reach it.
