You shouldn't need a long analysis that picks apart public statements and interprets them in a specific context to conclude that they probably didn't mean it the way it is obviously interpreted by anyone reading it.

It's not hard to be outspoken against fascism. Proton likes to forward themselves as visionaries, yet they completely fail to. Maybe they privately think Trump is an idiot, but I don't care. Resistance needs to be public in order to exist at all, especially when coming from actors like Proton.

Praising tweets by Trump wis sucking up to fascists. Had this tweet been contextualized with a long history of effective public opposition to the Trump regime I would have been willing to accept contextualization. It is not.
