This is from 2021. Tom Hartman is one of the originals from now defunct singular liberal radio station Air America. Rachel Maddow and Al Franken also did their thing over there. Until it died. The media is owned by the right.

All of the users on that HN post appropriately pointing out that capitalism and inequality fuelled the rise of the right having their comments downvoted in addition to the post itself being flagged. Classic Hackernews.

is this the sudden or the gradual part?
