    You need to read Andy’s replies after people questioned him on that initial post. I linked to an archived thread in my OP, or you can check the Proton Mail subreddit.

      I read his replies; what about them are “full MAGA”?

        I’m assuming you’re arguing in bad faith, or you missed his uniformly glowing praise of Republicans and how they defend “the little guy” as opposed to the corrupt dems.

          This is the comment which you linked to, copied and pasted:

          Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote. At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

          This doesn’t seem like a glowing commendation to me. It seems he said exactly what he thinks happened, and that only one person showed up. He even brings up the fact that Dems could choose the progressive wing with Bernie, but that they chose to follow the money. That’s not false either.

          I really don’t get how this is full MAGA, unless you’re stating that anything that praises the Republicans is full MAGA.

            If you’ll read the thread, this is not the first time he has praised Trump.
