This was the obvious outcome of the rich tech crowd trying to play politics. No, you were never "one of the good ones" in the American right wing's eyes. They hate you and everything you stand for. They are not interested in building an efficient government. They are not interested in fiscal conservatism. They are not interested in freedom of speech or any other kind of freedom. Libertarianism is just a fantasy in your own head. They, like all other political blocs, want power, and will use you however they need to get it. All they needed to do was stroke your ego a little bit ("yeah, you tech people are smart and can totally fix the government in a week") and here we are.
