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.
Wow. Can you let us know what you are smoking so we know to avoid it?
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.
Monopolies are not going to be broken up. Get real.
