They gave a more nuanced answer afterwards
The nuance was "don't worry I'm not conservative about everything, I'm just completely delusional about Trump because last time big tech wasn't playing nice with him so he threw a temper tantrum against big tech, which means he is permanently and forever against big tech regardless of who is going to the inauguration."
But the thing that really pissed me off in that thread was the dumbasses saying "it's ok for the leader of proton to be a deranged lunatic, the real way he crossed the line was posting under two accounts." Fuck. that.
I do also think his mistake was posting under proton's account. He sided with trump on an issue because they had did great with it once. Whether he’s in the right or wrong, what now? If you do believe his intentions and just think he is dumb for believing that then 🤷
Proton and him have made wrong decisions. That won’t be the first one and that’s not the end of the world.
Some Trump supporters are not evil by default, they’re just too attracted to the business side, which make them forget about the ethical side. I guess you could say it makes them evil this way 🤷
