As a fellow non-american who also hates politics (us, home or other), pretending this doesn't affect you or the tech world is hopelessly naive.

I hate seeing these posts on HN. I hate not seeing them / getting flagged more.

Exactly. I'm watching this from the Netherlands. Until last year I always ignored political posts here but now it's become an existential necessity to be involved.
