I don't have a horse in the white house race. I'm not even american, so my voice don't count here. But I wish developers would refrain from using the languages tooling to voice political opinions. At least this package I can ignore... but the last time I used npm my terminal looked like both a blend of a protest march and a craigslist page, completely drowning the relevant informations.

The point of a protest march is that it takes place in infrastructure that people need to use for other stuff & that it's hard to ignore. It's not just the expression of a political opinion, it's a form of activism—a way to push for change by making it uncomfortable for things to remain as they are. It's meant to be annoying.
