Oh ok he just gives the guy gold bars and millions of dollars. I wish Tim Cook would stop supporting me.

I think "enabler" is probably a better word choice than "supporter".

That doesn't make it right, or even much better...but I do think that there's a difference.

“Tim Cook gives Donald Trump Millions of dollars” = y’all sleep

I say “That shit makes him a Trump supporter” = real shit

I guess I made you think

(The short answer is that among his pile of “supporters” you’re going to find a bunch of “enablers”.

A good analogy for it would be that all rectangles are 4 sided polygons, but Tim Cook is a fucking Trump supporter.)

There is no distinction when it comes to fascists.

Had he been on Trump’s side, Tim would have endorsed him and supported him the moment he announced his candidacy—the first time. Instead he waited until Trump was officially elected to make a real gesture.

Tim Cook is wise enough to know he won’t win this battle. Trump is currently untouchable. And he’s not gonna go to war against the presidency, no matter who is currently holding the position of President of the United States.

If he does, he knows that no one will win but Trump. And that both his company, and its client base will pay the price, by way of tariffs and many others. Instead, he flattered Trump’s ego instead, offering him trinkets and a big glittery show that appeased the tantrums of the Toddler-King. Yes, Trump may flipflop like he almost always does, but that cost will still be less than going to war with him.

I also wish it hadn’t come to that, but a fascist regime is currently holding power—and the entire world hostage—in the States.
