Again, it literally doesn't matter. Game's gone. No-one will get punished for this because everyone knows it's a waste of effort and they'll be pardoned.
Well, as it turns out it is frontpage news. And I think there will be some eyes on it. I'm not claiming this a non-issue, but I find it unfair to say that this is a particular replican problem. I think it's government in general.
And I also notice that when I ask here on HN a critical question about the Democrats, I get flagged and downvoted. And if I ask a critical question about the Republicans, I get answers like "obviously".
When I ask the same questions in a more Republican focussed community, it's interestingly not the opposite. The Republicans don't seem to censor people that are critical about them, but they rather respond to it in a mature and factual way. I find that interesting.
Really? This is the most libertarian/right-adjacent tech forum I've seen. Check out how many DOGE posts were "flagged" in Jan. Certainly felt orchestrated.
