As free software I guess you have to not be pedantic, but still felt like this was unnecessary when I feel like I having nothing to do with this political change nor will I have the ability or inclination to actively do something about it.

Oh I noticed this too, same boat as you, I'm not in the US and can't do much about it.. but well, they are in their right to write whatever they want. It's not breaking my git repo so I'm OK with people expressing their opinions on their software in this case.

@leuu yeah I agree, it doesn't hurt me. Just thought it to be strange

If I protested this but have been accepting the "help kids in Uganda" thing in Vim for years I'd feel it was a double standard.

I'm amazed at the reach of this contaversy though, crazy times
