Most silicon valley employees don't really care about any of this. If anything most have extremely conservative opinions, they'll be all for Trump if they could vote on H1

Anti-net neutrality, anti-legal pot, draconian immigration policies, erosion of the social safety net, deregulation of the environment, kneecapping solar, climate denial. Are these really things most educated people in silicon valley are on board with? I have no connection to silicon valley, but most tech workers I know wouldn't support Trump at the very least because his climate denial is anti scientific and destructive.

I think most folks in SF and SV are against Trump on these issues. There are however many people who see the homeless situation on the streets of SF and think that the Democratic government is broken on at least that issue.

Not to mention that there are folks who support the contrarian standpoint on every one of those issues but are anti gun control.
