A one paragraph rant at the top of HN (at least as it displayed to me) probably shouldn't be there, but FWIW the post did resonate a little with me if OP is reading this

There are also a bunch of whiny people who can’t handle life or go ballistic if their “wrong” president is elected or society does not agree with their little pet opinion of how the world should be. Unfortunately HackerNews is full of this second category. That’s why it is trending here.

It’s difficult to know which category this one is, but since the first category can lead to really bad outcomes, it’s best to assume good intentions and I won’t judge. Unfortunately, statistically speaking ONLY, this could be the second category.
