I think a lot of people don’t understand this. I don’t think Zuck and Bezos are lefties, but I think they’re cowards who bent the knee to the left. Now that they’re free of that, or at least expecting to be, they’re showing their true political leanings. Doesn’t mean they can be trusted. Cowards can never be trusted because they’ll flip sides again and abandon their principles as soon as it benefits them.
But the same thing would happen for any true maga appointee. There’s no logic behind nominating Gaetz and then having him drop out just to find fake MAGA.
Either Gaetz’ reason for dropping out is all there is to it, or they’re running some other plan we don’t know about yet.
We don't need to feel bad about taking advantage of other cuture's stupid quirks. If saying no is weak, but saying no would have put Japan first for the Japanese people, then their culture is wrong. If he had said anything along the lines of "Sorry Mr President, we want to be good partners with you but we also need to be Japan first" then THAT would have been strong, and I don't think Trump would have pushed him.
