Yes, it's so cringy reading a naive appeal written by someone who seemingly thinks helping our society or even just the values of open reason have anything to do with the goals of the current administration.
The loudly proclaimed surface policies are trolling for whatever draws the most attention - hence the recycling of so many disparate longstanding criticisms into an overarching wholesale condemnation. And the real policy is driven by whatever enables them to loot, steal, and otherwise enrich themselves by taking bribes for enabling corporate totalitarianism.
I guess it's not really different than people who still think the Republican party represents a strong America, or the widespread continued use of "conservative" as a lazy synonym while the actual agenda is the complete opposite of conservatism. But still like, you aren't an elderly person glued to a nursing home TV all day. You're online so much as to even have a blog. You should know better.
