I really don't fear the CCP. They're pretty transparent about their goals. Their goal is China first. They put massive investments into infrastructure and high end manufacturing. Don't for a minute think that China only produces cheap garbage. Americans buy the cheapest shit that China sells. If you bought the absolute cheapest domestic products you'd get the same quality.

What I do fear is the current administration who doesn't even hide the fact that favors are for sale. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fhomenews%2Fa...

The head of the military is a drunken former Fox News host who accidentally texts top secret plans to journalists on unsecure devices. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.npr.org%2F2025%2F04%2F22...

The head of the department of education is an elderly CEO who used to run a wrestling company and doesn't know the different between artificial intelligence and steak sauce. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory... Bonus for her husband Vince whose legal troubles will likely quietly vanish.

The rest of the cabinet is a rogues gallery of billionaire assholes and other unqualified DEI hires. DEI in this context meaning they were not hired on the basis of being best qualified.

That is the stuff I fear.

It simply does not matter what you think about LGBTQ+. The fact is that the people who are socially center-right on this have a vote, and Firefox's marketshare collapsed when they fired Eich for supporting Prop 8.

That happened in 2014 and Firefox was already circling the drain. They were under 15% of the market and slowly declining. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgs.statcounter.com%2Fbro...

In 2025 Firefox is competing with Samsung's phone browser at 2.39% https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgs.statcounter.com%2Fbro...
