By all means criticise the implementation but definitely don’t criticise the idea! America’s democracy would be greatly improved by being made more representative through electoral reform.

Yeah, but this is not what they are saying. They are saying that debate stiffle innovation. They are saying that we should get rid of all this mess and let the wise man govern.

I think about least 3/4 of the anti-democracy rhetoric I've seen here has been from people opposed to this administration.

So I wouldn't conflate opposition to democracy/embracing authoritarianism with one particular man if that is what you mean by "let the wise man govern."

It's broader than that and more worrying because there are multiple authoritarian factions who agree mainly on democracy being the enemy.

In that sense it's a similar sort of set up heading into WWII

No surprise that HN was one of moldbugs targets in the beginning.
