I skipped those other things because there's actually less of your typical conservatives in this industry than average, but there's a disturbingly high number of alt-right software engineers. Like 10% of the last company I worked for! Plus, people have been referring to liberals as libtards since way before the alt right was a thing, and the alt right doesn't really tend to advocate for tax cuts for the rich. They are overwhelmingly racist and white nationalist but not exclusively. And really the root of the ideology is fear of what could happen to whites as a minority group, which is very paranoid and not something I'm personally concerned about, but it's not the same thing as hate. A lot of these people are also mentally ill. The "basket of deplorables" approach to dealing with them clearly did not work. We can be against everything they stand for and still be aware that they're human beings that on the whole are probably more confused than sociopathic or evil.
