Ceo of Proton is a huge Republican fan, that might deter some people. Are you not interested in this?

I would be in the loop, but not necessarily OP. I am calling out OC to defend their suggestion with more than a simple accusation.
As a looped in person. Do you think I should stick to Proton for less hassle (migration) or is moving to Tuta for example the right move currently?
My take is that Proton CEO Andy Yen's pro-Trump comments were born out of naïvety, not the same mindset that plagues tech CEOs in the US. Combining that with Proton's benign actions since then, I think it's a good time to diversify, become familiar with alternatives like Tuta as you say, and make a backup plan should they enshittify, but don't rush to jump ship now.
You are indeed correct, I'm not the type currently to stay up to date on news
Not this shit again.
What you mean? You do realise most of us degoogle to get away from American grasp on technology, what's the purpose of switching to Proton if there's services even more independent?
The problem is I have been using proton for years and I have 385 entries so switching to say Tuta would be a drag (unless there is an option to migrate, I haven't checked) Proton IIRC is also the cheaper of the two
After thinking some more this mindset is not good at all. If everyone becomes complacent due to habit and convenience that would be bad
I'm not sure, does managing two email accounts would be difficult for you? It wouldn't be too bad having one extra, having some accounts on a different mail might work for you, if one gets hacked you don't lose access to everything right away. Also you don't have to migrate all the entries right away, you can always just make new accounts on a new email provider, and if you do use password expiry in your pw manager you can migrate emails right then
I mean I can do it like I did with Gmail, just forward all the mails and slowly migrate everything
