It's a symptom of current US politics, sadly. I expect it's gonna get worse before it gets better. The best approach, IMO, is to flag, downvote, and move on. D

It's a symptom of current US politics, sadly. I expect it's gonna get worse before it gets better. The best approach, IMO, is to flag, downvote, and move on. Don't engage, don't get in arguments. I don't mean this in general, just on HN which is not intended to be a political space. For some people, reactionary politics has become their entire world and it's important to show them this doesn't get the reaction they desire here.
