Nationalistic flamewar isn't ok here, regardless of which nation you have a problem with or how right you are or you feel you are.

Please don't post flamewar comments to HN generally. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

(Fortunately your earlier comment history seems fine, so this should be easy to fix.)

A thin majority in an election with a poor (and/or constrained) turnout in a lop-sided nonsense of an electoral system with disproportionate weightings voted for parts of this.

Most people probably wanted "change" and there was no alternative option. If your democracy offers only two options, then polarization is the outcome.

Even completely ignoring the dubious ethics invoked - a lot of non Americans will get worse outcomes than the US because of this. Given the work that has been cancelled so far, some of those non Americans are likely already dead.

Why do they deserve the worst outcome?
