Consider the source.......and in the first paragraph the use of "sugar daddy" rather than something journalistic and unloaded such as "supporter"...... We can run around and pick and chose our outlets ( Yes....I do it.......though at some point EVERYONE hates some of what I post....  ) to make the case for our side. The hard thing, that is to dig hard enough to know that the side you are going to end up on is wrong at least 30-40% of the time.......and maybe even 80% of the time, it just being that the other side is wrong 81% of the time. Hence you land on your side.......not because it is correct but because it is less wrong. Which of course scrambles the whole concept of calling "the other" evil........ |

Ben, I don't disagree. In the weeks before former president Donald Trump announced his vice-presidential pick, some of tech’s biggest names launched a quiet campaign to push for one of their own: Ohio Sen. JD Vance. The former president fielded repeated calls from tech entrepreneur David Sacks, Palantir adviser Jacob Helberg and billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel, Vance’s former employer and mentor, imploring him to add the onetime Silicon Valley investor to the ticket, according to three people familiar with the entreaties, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private conversations. Vance’s most forceful Silicon Valley advocates are euphoric about the former Never Trumper’s rise in the GOP. They see Vance as their emissary in Washington, spreading a doctrine that government and entrenched corporate giants from Google to Lockheed Martin stifle innovation, while nimble, bold-thinking start-ups — especially their own — can propel the national interest. And while the ascension of Vice President Harris has invigorated many left-leaning tech leaders, some in Thiel’s network would stand to benefit from having Vance in the White House — a new asset for venture capitalists who until recently shunned Washington. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/07/28/jd-vance-peter-thiel-donors-big-tech-trump-vp/ |

I actually like what you post. Even if I disagree, it's always interesting to see different ideas. |

Because it has the totalitarian government they want to replace our republic form of government with. I really believe this is a myth. If not, its no less of a totalitarian government the Left wants to have. Cancel culture and using corporations to silence decent is totalitarianism. No reasonable person can deny that the Democratic party is all about that. |

The list of right-wing cancel culture targets is literally too long to post. So, pretty please, with a cherry on top, GMAFB with that nonsense.

FYI, Reason, one of your favorite sources, is as far right as the Independent is far left:
I agree, completely, that we should always consider the source, and I cannot remember ever using the word "evil" when discussing sides of the political spectrum.
We should also be wary of strawmen arguments.
