I didn't shift my politics.
He continues to insist that he's a true progressive, and he thinks that the left has stopped being progressive.
That's a combination of the two, and what proportion of each, I can't really say.
I will say this.
One of the things that makes Karp such an interesting figure is opportunism isn't good enough for him.
He has to find an ideological reason, something personal slash ideological, to really get on board with something.
It can't just be opportunism.
You see with a number of
Major tech executives have gotten on board with Trump the second time around, and with some of them, the cravenness drips off them like sweat.
Karp is a little different.
He has found reasons to get on board with Trump, reasons in his own mind, reasons that go beyond necessity and opportunism.
He thinks Trump is the right guy.
He and I have had a number of conversations, and he's kind of dismissive of those concerns.
He doesn't really want to talk about them.
And he deflects them by saying that I and other people just have Trump derangement syndrome.
meaning that the people raising these issues, raising these concerns, are just so hostile to Trump, so blinded with rage at Trump, that they can't think rationally about these issues.
But I also know that Karp's views on immigration have changed.
And this goes back to October 7th.
Before October 7th, he saw the immigration issue, he saw the chaos at the border as bad for the Democrats.
After October 7th, he also sees the immigration issue and the border as bad for American Jews.
