I know you’re not. That’s why I’m asking about the Trump support. Seems opposite your life’s work (at least the portion I’m familiar with and a huge fan of.)

Maybe it's not supporting Trump the man, or even Trump the president, but supporting the Constitution from being backdoored by the unaccountable entrenched bureaucracy and the MIC.

A president threatening to pardon himself and co-conspirators for crimes possibly related to trying to rig an election is the far bigger threat imo

Rig an election? The best they have is some random Facebook ads...that's hardly flipping votes, hanging Chads or anything resembling rigging an election. Clinton was shite...the fact that you are even remotely believing this astonishes me

Ari I love you man, and I'm glad you lobby the federales for crypto, but you've too much time schmoozing with our unelected bosses and swallowing their preposterous excuses for overthrowing a constitutional election.

Trump the guy who threatened Apple because they refused to unlock their iphones? Trump has no principles apart from "do what's in my personal best interest at this very moment." He only values liberty when it suits him, and only values justice when its bad for his enemies.

A normal politician in that regard. p.s. he did the Apple threat under the advice and perhaps even under the pressure of the permanent bureaucrats at the Department of Justice. Quite possibly the same unelected bosses abusing their police powers in each case.

Be loyal to ideals and principles not politicians. Suddenly the debt doesnt matter, spending doesnt matter, trade doesnt matter, morals and character dont matter, corruption doesnt matter, facts dont matter, freedom of the press doesnt matter. Conservatives no more. Trumpians now

I’ve actually been wondering how you reconcile these two views as well. Trump doesn’t strike me as particularly supportive of self determination, which I personally believe is a big part of the crypto movement. I’m genuinely curious about the thread that weaves this together.

Also wrt to the original tweet, I’m pretty inclined to agree with you on all points. I don’t agree with your chosen candidate but a bunch of unelected partisans interfering with your ability to elect that person is not acceptable either obviously.
