This type of "reddit" comment is not appropriate for HackerNews.

I just want to be sure here. Is he a huge national security threat? If so, is he big enough of a threat to justify voter fraud?

Foolish question with a faulty premise.

No one is required to respond to this in earnest, just like there is no requirement for Google to publish materials just because they were uploaded to their servers.

A stable belief system is not shaken by a hypothetical question. You can dodge the question if you'd like but it probably doesn't make your world view appealing to outsiders.

"Stable belief system" is orthogonal to "belief system aligned with verifiable facts".

Are you nice because it is required to be nice? "Requirement" is a loaded term, but I would hope Google employees show some decency and hold up their liberal values and bolster free expression that they claim to value so much.
