Your naivete is being taken advantage of by bad faith actors.

This is what I mean. The comment I would have expected to see on HN goes something like:

* This is not true because <some sound logic or data source>

Instead, you just wrote that I'm naive and pretty much left it at that.

Why does this topic make you do that?

(Edit: just noticed that your profile even says you're a data scientist of all things!)

It's a bit ridiculous at this stage to suppose that those supporting Trump's coup attempt are doing so in good faith.

If you are not an American, I suppose it makes sense that you are not aware of the current political climate. If you are American, then you've been deliberately ignoring the obvious.
