it was naive to think Trump wouldn’t immediately change his mind if big tech changed their tune, pampered him, and made him feel like a little princess. I personally didn’t expect big tech to cozy up to Trump so hard

Good points. Alas it seems that Trump’s supposed care “for the little guys” was just a ploy for him to gain power. Although I guess there are many “little guys” that he never even pretended to care about: immigrants, Muslims, antifa, etc.
