I made the same change a couple decades ago, though it was for fiscal reasons (Neither of the two major parties offers anything to those who want fiscal responsibility). I've always been surprised that more voters don't do the same. I think most people want fiscal responsibility and want to allow people to love, diddle and marry whoever they want.
Mark Zuckerberg has entered his libertarian era
Out of the public eye, Mark Zuckerberg identifies with libertarianism — or at least that's according to the few sources privy to his private political thoughts. As Zuckerberg attempts to convince Republicans that he, and his company Meta, are nonpartisan, sources told the New York Times that he's sunk into a political cynicism.
In his effort to mend ties with the right, Zuckerberg has hired Republican strategist Brian Baker, who will aim to heal his relationship with right-wing media and operatives. Much of the animosity toward Zuckerberg trickles down from the top of the party, beginning with former President Donald Trump himself. Zuckerberg suspended Trump's Facebook account after the events of January 6 and thus ignited the former president's anger.
Trump now seems to delight in bashing Zuckerberg, whom he threatened to imprison if he wins back the White House. He's declared support for TikTok simply because it's one of Meta's competitors. And in his most recent book, Trump included a photo of Zuckerberg and said that the tech leader engaged in a "PLOT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT."
Now, however, it seems that Zuckerberg is attempting to make amends. The Meta CEO has called Trump twice this summer alone and even referred to him as a "badass" after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Zuckerberg has not yet pursued a connection with Vice President Kamala Harris, the NYT reported.
