The thing about people like Andy is they see everything through the lens of how it affects their business. Gail Slater could be the most evil person in the world, but as long as she’s “good on antitrust” then he thinks she’s a good pick. Someone not being in thrall to a fascist is more important.
In an updated version of his post he talks about how JD Vance agreed with Lina Khan on tech antitrust. He doesn’t mention (either through ignorance or explicit neglect) that Vance is behind tech antitrust because he believed that they were “woke” and would fact check obvious lies by him and his party. He wants them broken up based on viewpoint discrimination, not because he has a problem with large tech companies spying on us and violating our privacy. Vance probably doesn’t believe that anymore given the right turn the big tech companies have made in the last 2 months. As long as big tech is doing what the Republican party wants, they’re going to get a free hand.
Either Andy is too stupid to understand this or he thinks we’re stupid enough to believe him.
I’m having a hard time believing anything they say when the incoming administration they seemingly support is constantly making threats of invading our country.
