When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb

Mentioning that Democrats are trash on dealing with corporations is just fine. Good, even.
Lying through your god damn teeth that Republicans are going to do anything other than lie to gain more leverage for their jihad to fuck over their fellow man is delusional at best.
I dunno what's worse. Lying about Republicans being "for the little guy", or actually believing it. Both point to significant logic, reasoning, and judgmental flaws in Proton's leadership.
I've been calling America a corporate dictatorship for well over a decade, so Yen/Proton realizing the Dem's are captured is welcomed, but the belief that R's are better in 2025 is completely insane.
I've got 18 months left on my current plan, so that'll give me time to see how deep this clusterfuck goes and transition away if need be.
Have you heard of inverted totalitarianism?
Oh Andy, the Republicans won't think of you as "one of the good ones" and protect you from their white America policies.
Thank you for being one of the saner takes in this thread.
Call out the bad and insane parts of Andy Yen's comment. Also call out the good. Don't fall for the same trap that Yen himself got caught in by painting the entire thing as "full MAGA". The characterization from this post's title feels similar to me as Yen himself saying "all Democrats bad and care only for the big guy".
