It's mysterious that few if any defend the current administration's politics but almost immediately there was an uptick in people who are simply offended by political posts in principle. I wonder if people are just too weak to man up and admit they're okay with this, so they feign disinterest in hearing criticism about politics in general.

I can't speak for the person(s) you're referring to but at lest on HN it's generally always been anti-political.

The guidelines state:

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

Nearly everything we discuss here is political. Some people get triggered when the current administration gets criticized and pretend that's the line where politics starts, but it isn't. Accepting what the government does without question is the height of incuriosity. If the site owners had any interest in enforcing the guidelines, this place wouldn't be a cesspool of LLM shovelware self-promotion.

deep breaths, everything is going to be okay.
