Members of the liberal ruling class support the authoritarianism of the Democratic Party, but then attempt to avoid the repression they eagerly impose on others. Consider Apple, a corporation as progressive as the rest of Big Tech.

In the 2020 election cycle, only 4.3% of donations by Apple employees and their families went to Republicans. The largest beneficiary was Joe Biden.

The Democratic Party in general and Biden in particular vociferously oppose gun rights. However, like the rest of us, Apple requires firearms for security purposes. So we read this, via CNET:

Thomas Moyer, Apple’s head of global security, was indicted last week as part of a two-year investigation into the sheriff’s office, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said Monday. Moyer allegedly agreed to donate 200 iPads worth $70,000 to the Sheriff’s Office in exchange for four [concealed carry] permits that had been withheld from Apple employees, the District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. …

Also indicted in the scheme were Santa Clara Undersheriff Rick Sung and Capt. James Jensen, who allegedly requested the bribes, the DA’s office said.

There should be no need for Apple to hand over iPads. It is not up to potentially corrupt law enforcement agencies whether we have a right to bear arms. It says we do right in the Constitution.
