Are for staunch allies of MAGA-whether deliberately or inadvertently I don’t know (and don’t care by now). The lightweight politics of the allies of technofascists who shift the centre of society right, libertarian, tabloid and draconian.

They represent the shallow, mindless solutionism of Californian Ideology/that cult out in Si Valley cult to the max.

I am glad they no longer fool everyone. I found the years those types were considered liberal painful.
