I always thought that rpi attempted to market itself as a device for liberals. Like a marketing strategy to appear hip to a certain audience.

I always felt that way too. Even though disclaimer: I did buy one of the earlier models and spent a lot of time playing with it for a few projects.

And even checking out the Ada Fruit site back in the day the founder looked like a problematic SJW type. This announcement doesn't surprise me at all.
