This comment would make sense on Reddit or twitter “maybe” due to how easy it is to fall into a bubble but on HN? This website regularly features content from conservative intellectuals.

I'm pretty far to the left, but I will say that one thing that's good about HN is that you can discuss an idea here without it getting down voted into the abyss, sometimes. Sometimes people even argue on good faith. Try finding that on Twitter.

See https://crookedtimber.org/2018/04/05/who-has-any-use-for-con... and previously https://crookedtimber.org/2009/05/12/richard-posner-on-the-c...

Trump has destroyed conservative intellectualism because he has no use for nor respect for them.
