The clothes we wear, the food we eat, where and how our children are schooled, the devices and services we have available, consumer rights for said devices and services, etc.

As valid of a point as it may be, it’s absolutely trite in this context. You can infer and separate degrees of politics from hackers-as-hackers. Piling on Trump has zero utility to hackers. Think about it for a moment.
We already tried the whole "not resisting fascist-adjacent people every living second" and it didn't turn out great for a lot of people. Think about it for a moment.
