Do you know people who decide their politics based on the party line?

Was surprised to hear a progressive say that "Amazon is awesome" when I mentioned that Trump wants to launch an anti-trust trial against it.

(Edit: forgot to mention that this person went on an anti-Trump rant.)

Usually, the big bad corporations are the enemies of progressives, so it surprised me.

What are your thoughts?

Everyone loves Amazon. If Trump goes to war with them and the conservatives get their way, friends and relatives everywhere can expect fewer gifts this holiday season.

Why mess with something that works so well, something that has not been deemed to violate antitrust laws?

Oh yeah... Trump's mad at the CEO for pulling back the Wizard's curtain.

@Graylight That’s the thing. Trump has no objections to the way Bezos is doing business on principle, and he’s a hypocrite (nothing new) to even pretend that he has. If anything, this is sheer corporate envy and vindictiveness on his part.

@Graylight This is my problem with going after Amazon for anti-trust. Why Amazon? Why not Walmart?

OH YEA. YOU HATE BEZOS.

@CopperCicada Exactly.
