  I'm curious as to why there isn't more political discussion on HN just due to the nature of the high intelligence and mind-swell here. Does this community not care and realize the harm that follows from the current regime in power? Or are people too heavily invested in this Yarvin character and want the world to very much be a Cyberpunk 2077/The Division landscape? Crazy.

  From the article:

  > the people are idiots

  "The people" refers to the voters.

  The use of the word idiot contrasts to an earlier post today suggesting Musk is a useful idiot for Trump. The reverse looks like more likely to me. The monarchists (as this article calls them) think the citizens are idiots, and I suspect they find Trump a particularly useful one.

  I guess we will find out in about 19 months if they are right on all counts.
