>Obviously he does not feel that he can do so now, with so much of Amazon’s business in the crosshairs of the Trump administration. Why do you assume that Bezos, or any of these tech giants, are anti-Trump? Have you considered that, like a huge chunk of the rest of the country, they actually support what's happening (to varying degrees)? Why is it the left feels that their beliefs are the "normal" ones?

> Why is it the left feels that their beliefs are the "normal" ones? Why is it that all the most insane politician worshipers (left and right) feel that their tinfoil-hat extremist beliefs are "normal"? The lunatics have been increasingly "running the asylum" for quite a while now, and more and more cult-followers been jumpin' on-board with the insanity year after year. It's like watchin' a slow-motion train-wreck.

  America doesn't really have a left AFAIK. Centrist: why can't we all just get along?

That "huge chunk of the country" was a little less than half of the subset of Americans who actually voted. The left's beliefs are the "normal" ones. Remember, this fact is why the right is so afraid of the cultural influence of "city dwellers" (read - leftists) and the popular vote versus the Electoral College, which exists to bias Presidential elections in favor of rural culture. Roe v. Wade was repealed despite widespread popular support. The majority of Americans favor nationalized education and healthcare, LGBTQ rights and gay marriage. I mean, you're right that Bezos probably isn't anti-Trump, no capitalist is really anti-Trump, but like a lot of people you seem to be poisoned by Trumpist propaganda. Trumpism has never been a majority view in the US, it has always been a tyranny of the minority.

I’m sure he loves the antitrust case against Amazon as much as he loved losing the JEDI contract the first time around.

Yes, it’s clear that a lot of people are for a party that now openly sieg-heils on stage (it’s not just Musk, he started a trend) This is useful information to have, and I, for one won’t be forgetting it.
