So while ignoring the rest of the planet in order to get the best number you can, it still is a tiny % of users, and even now Macs sales are starting to slump, just like the rest their products.

Which just means less money flowing from Apple to the Democrats. Shouldn’t that make you happy that Tim and Co. Wont have as much money to fund the party that will force security holes in those precious iGadgets?

Uh, no, I'm not. World wide share of Macs has grown to 7.4%, up from 4% while Windows PCs have declined. Apple Macs have been outpacing Windows PCs sales there as well for those same quarters I mentioned before. In just the last year, Apple moved from the number five maker of personal computers to the number four position. Those are the facts.

Apple does not make political donations to any party. However, the Apple Employees Political Action Committee does. . . split about 80% to 20% Democrat over Republican. If you look you will see that when Cook and his cohorts make political statements, they are now being careful to state they are acting in a personal capacity. That doesn't mean that Apple doesn't make some really stupid decisions such as replacing the gun emoji with the squirt gun.

You're flat-out wrong. Microsoft, of which you're so fond of, donates lots of money to Democrat causes, and doesn't donate to Republicans. For instance, Microsoft was the No. 2 top contributor to President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign, donating more than $815,000 to the Democratic incumbent. Apple doesn't.
