God forbid people that don't share your politics coexist on a tech forum with you.
Crossing into personal attack is also egregious and not allowed here.

Folks reflecting on this and saying, what else did we have completely wrong are asking the right question. Folks who think this was a one off, well, it absolutely wasn’t.
I doubt there is even a single “MAGA” person on HN, but you folks like to throw that epithet around to shut down dialog. It’s shameful.
And nobody needs to distance themselves from anyone. If you make a false association, that’s your fault, not theirs. Judge them on what they actually do and say, not on what you (incorrectly) assume they might think.
I go out of my way to try to understand what conservative punditry has to say on a given subject.
You might be conflating the terminally online left with the much larger and more diverse Democrat party as a whole. Contrast with the GOP, whom with very few exceptions has fully signed on with Trumpism & embraced the sort of ignorant, economically illiterate and frankly insane beliefs that entails. Maybe it's survivorship bias, because anyone with a principled conservative bone in their body has already distanced themselves from the GOP over the last 4 years.
There are absolutely "MAGA" people on HN, in this case salivating over the opportunity to claim Trump was right about something, anything at all(as though it vindicates them or proves something in general, let alone in this case).
