I do think the HN and tech community is a more diverse group, than just the ultra libertarians, opportunists, and outright fascists. Maybe that's just my naive hope. In any case I would also like to know how US based techies think about this administration and the direction the country is heading in.

if you look at any recent article here on the current US trajectory there is a pretty large contingent of people who are very much not happy with the way things are going. Of course the articles then get flagged and removed from the front page but from my reading more and more people are speaking up over here. And as US techie I certainly don’t support this BS.

Worth noting that I did not realize how many articles are getting flagged regularly here until I switched to active view eg https://news.ycombinator.com/active

I could have been clearer but that is what i mean, there is a large contingent with very negative feelings for the actions of the current admin.

Ahh got it, agreed. I do experiments every once in awhile where I try to find one thing the current administration has done objectively well, there are some. Some people can't admit to one thing being good, and I'm not even saying the ends justify the means.

I mean no snark, but can you link to some things that are objectively well done?

I mean, I would think that actual libertarians, even right-libertarians, would be extremely alarmed by ol' minihands, tbh.
