It's possible to have a right wing bias piece without it being claptrap, which this clearly is.
There are plenty of conservative writers at the NYT/Wapo and dozens institutions like Hoover, if they write something HN relevant, submit it. In fact, I'll submit some myself right now and see how they fare. But don't choose this article as the 'HN is too woke' hill to die on.

These influences are generally understated and coming to understand this relationship has done a great deal to improve my regard for the value imparted by both both of these ideologies. If you take a minute to step outside your kneejerk reactions, you might learn something here, regardless of any bias by this particular author.
