And how can they be backing an administration that's really assaulted LGBT rights?

And, you know, if you just go down the list,

There's a lot of things that are counterintuitive about some of these Silicon Valley leaders who flipped, in many cases, flipped from being very, very active Democrats to backing Trump.

And maybe there's an intuitive answer to that counterintuitive thing, which is that many of them feel their short-term business interests or personal financial interests are better served by Republicans.

I get that.

I would counter, as I think a lot of people in Silicon Valley who are still Democrats would, that

Look, a healthy business environment, you know, you don't want to be overregulated, but you also want to make sure you're in an environment with rule of law.

You want to be in a place where it's safe to say scientific truths out loud.

You want to be in a place where somebody can't impose their interpretation of their religion on other people.

I have a whole counter to that.

But, you know, I think that's the kind of swirl that we got into definitely just in those short years between 2020 and 24.

This is an amazing example of some of the false equivalencies that I've seen thrown around out there.

I would acknowledge, I think a lot of folks would say that it came really close to the stove some of the times when the administration was trying to make sure that bad information or misinformation wasn't being pushed into the public health conversation and was engaging social media companies that were trying to be responsible and do the right thing and

There might be moments that they got that wrong or went too far.

But right now we're in a moment where the president of the United States doesn't like being criticized by a comedian and has the head of the FCC, which regulates corporations that are trying to buy TV networks, go out and threaten them and say, we can do this the easy way or the hard way.

I mean, that is a whole different level of censorship, not to mention just

the way they've gone through like every government website, right?

And deleted anything that could accidentally be a reference to climate change.

So, you know, I'm worried about the false equivalencies here.

You could definitely say there were moments under the last administration or any administration where we could argue that having fidelity to free speech, you know, you should have done this way instead of that way, or these edge cases should have been different.
