Or the commentary is largely coming from those normally absent from HN.

Many of the comments on both sides - although hopefully not most of the worst ones - are from long term contributors.

Many of us try to be reasonable even when we go against the grain here:

Personally I never liked or voted Trump and I trust the American public and American judges more than HN or YouTube.

As an outside observer with contacts on both sides I can see how maddening this must be, so here I am on HN, trying to explain how this feels like for Trump supporters.

Meanwhile I see messages waiting for me on Telegram and I think Instagram from some of those people and I will again tryvto explain them that even if they haven't seen a single Biden supporter for miles it just means they haven't looked in the right places.

But, historically I think being a reasonable person when American elections are discussed on HN is a losing proposition :-)

It must be the outside agitators?
