I thought Macs were the official platform used by liberals.
It’s not about being newsworthy: this comes down to CUSTOMER SERVICE and BUSINESS: plain and simple, and Apple delivered.
Hardly.
Macs have an old reputation for being used by artists, the majority of whom are thought of as liberal. Windows PCs have an old reputation for being the stodgy, businesslike computer vs. Macs.
But conservatives are practical, independent folks. They don't like being told what to do by Microsoft, because Microsoft so often is wrong, and totalitarian about it too. Apple isn't always right, but their record the past five years makes Microsoft look sick.
In that sense, use of a Mac is a blow against the establishment, whether it be the liberal establishment, or the technological one.
