Hilarious GH name, and apparently masterful troll.

Seems to me that the name is satire. As in, the author didn't actually vote for trump but wants to make it look like people that voted for him are creating packages like that.

I don't think such packages should be on NPM either way.

His twitter feed is full of right wing talking points and he broke a 19 year voting hiatus to vote in the 2020 general election, so I don't think it's that unreasonable to think he did, in fact, vote for Trump.

This is the user: https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump

This is what it says there:

The author is an antivaxer and based on that it is a fair shake that he voted for Trump.
