      he was on Trump’s tech advisory board during his 1st term, I think that was the moment when some libs realized he might be a piece of shit, though plenty made excuses for him. a lot of us Bernard Brethren had already started to turn on him due to the general hatred of the billionaire class, and in lefty / radlib circles there had been some talk of his union busting, I think that’s what it was for me
