I don't. Not because this isn't an important topic - it is, but because:

This is about politics. It is already being covered on TV news. Is it evidence of an interesting new phenomenon? It's unusual to see that sort of behaviour, sure, but in the Trump era? How surprised are we exactly?

All the comments are the very predictable trench digging. I'd rather see it flagged into oblivion.



I'm so sorry someone is holding a gun to your head and making you read Hacker News.


Sure, I can just ignore those articles, so lets open it up and just have /new as the front page. No harm, right, it definitely won't caause a change in the character of the site or attract a different audience.

Sheesh, think about the other point of view for more than 10 seconds please instead of just reacting.
