    At least 1/3 of this group isn't a US citizen, among tech workers in the US, probably closer to 1/2. The immigrant group is definitely more right wing or centrist than the employees who almost entirely fall somewhere on the lib/left spectrum. The association with the right/republicans in the tech world isn't among people working programming jobs, it's people who want to be entrepreneurs, and even then it's still much more lib.

    The point here is, the ideological center of the tech industry is probably still to the left of Yeglasias, but the majority of people are a lot like him politically.
