Two weeks ago Protonmail CEO Andy Yen said he likes the Trump cabinet appointment Gail Slater and what she'll do for privacy, saying Dems are not the party of the little guy. Redditors are still declaring they'll be cancelling their (mostly free) service and continuing to have mental breakdowns.

Excerpt from Yen's comment:

This is not going to be a popular opinion, but on the specific issue of antitrust, Democrats fell short. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote. In the aftermath of this failure, great people like former Democratic rep David Cicilline left congress, leaving few strong voices for antitrust left in the Democratic party. In the meantime, at a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.

I mean aside obvious irony of companies constantly posting their political takes from official accounts (but pro-lefty so Reddit doesn't care), this is a nothingburger because it's just endorsing a single choice/pick/decision by Trump. Something Sanders himself and many Dems did from time to time.
