There's very little evidence in my view that Republicans intend to be friendlier to big tech than Democrats. Democrats take vastly more big tech donations still, and its still a significantly smaller percentage of their politicians that are culturally or ethically opposed to a "free and open" internet than in the Republican party, which has a significant contingent of traditionalists that (sometimes understandably) view the unrestrained spread of the internet and related technologies as inherently evil (the Democrats mostly stop at saying its partially evil and just needs more competition or some form of very light regulation). There's a significant social conservative / anti big-tech overlap.

Its also the case that the Republican party is trending overwhelmingly in an anti big-tech direction recently, whereas the Democrats mostly seem to be treading water at about the same overall position.

Isn’t the point that the VC’s want the Republicans to be anti big-tech (and pro small tech) I wonder if there’s a strategy for like AH to move more towards core tech and away from consumer tech I.e. things that have been politically controversial. I’ve been wondering how these movers might work with the religious right and this might explain it.
