On HN people are commenting good faith and overwhelmingly are not Trump supporters, and definitely not QAnon.
In fact I suggest it's slightly left/anarcho/libertarian for the most part, with some hot-button issues where I feel the discussion gets out of hand. Trump, Bitcoin, Security, Hackers, Whistleblowers, NIMYBISM are all issues in which I feel there's what I would call a 'lack of maturity' or more politely an 'overabundance of idealism' in getting to the nature of especially macro issues, something resulting from 'highly intelligent and academic viewpoints' of those who haven't generally had to contend with the reality and mechanics of power, responsibility and public communications.
Everything is intellectual in rhetoric, but it's 100% 'making sausage' in the real world.
A kind of populist, intellectual idealism here. But it's definitely in 'good faith'.
