    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.

      Hi. I see that you’re posting from a Netherlands instance. On the chance that you’re not familiar with how the Republican party operates I’m going to explain. Any department that is seen as being against business gets a person from the business world. They always promise to do a great job, using their business knowledge. And they always do their level best to destroy or neuter that department.

      We are currently at part 2, where they promise to do a great job.

      For the most recent infamous example, check out Ajit Pai. He served in the Bush administration as an Anti Trust lawyer before Trump gave him control of the FCC to blow up net neutrality.

      Hooo boy, lots to unpack here. The screenshots were screenshots of the post. I’m confused why you would think looking at the screenshots of text somehow amounts to not reading them? In fact, good thing we have those screenshots because the post itself got deleted. Link to screenshot here and also the doubling down screenshots for those who need it.

      Also, are you kidding me? It abso-fudging-lutely was a pretty categorical endorsement of R’s over Dems, at least on the issue of anti-trust in the tech sector. They specifically made a point about how this whole thing amounted to evidence that R’s writ large were more trustworthy than D’s.

      Just a bizarre take all around, especially when tut-tutting about other people supposedly not reading it.

        I dont see him celebrating the Republican party in general. I see him shitting on the Democratic party, which is well deserved.

        I’m confused honestly - the post I saw just said that he was happy that Trump picked an anti trust person to break up big tech.

        Why is that bad? Don’t people want the big monopolies broken up?

          Again, no! The post was emphatically not just a remark on the nomination being good (why tf do people keep saying that).

          Their comment was an overall assessment of R’s vs D’s and their respective records on regulating the tech sector in general. It rubbed people the wrong way because it’s an obviously crazy revisionist history from someone we all expected would know better.

          Because it’s not in good faith. And saying Trump is good for trust busting is revisionist history at best.
