    I hate to wreck this beautiful dream, but tech is not nearly as blue as everyone thinks it is.

    I’m in IT. One of my coworkers has said he’s farther right than Limbaugh. He’s otherwise a really nice guy. 🤷

        Not that I know everything about him but if he didn’t say that I wouldn’t have known. He’s even told me a bit of his personal life in which government assistance saved his bacon and corporate America screwed him.

          It’s a little difficult to separate the politics off and put it into a different category altogether. He supports having the government be shitty to people he doesn’t like. I have no doubt he could be nice in the pejorative sense – like in the difference between nice people and kind people or in the “nice guy” meme sense – but many doubts that he’s actually a really nice guy in any sincere way.

          It’s easier to say you just don’t really know him. I think it’s similar to the neighbors saying how the serial killer really seemed like a great guy when the reporters interview them. He wasn’t a great guy, you just didn’t know who he really was.
