Hmm. I think a lot of people who were silent about their positions on this topic are much more inclined to say them out loud now, even on websites like HN. Not that they are right though.
As for the reasons why I have (like anyone else) two or three ideas.
And whatever it is, it ain't making me feel optimist about what's to come.

I'm not sure, HN has always been welcoming to contrarian views unless it is something particularly nasty like racism.
If I could point to anything it would be the fact that we are getting close to an election in the US.
