  > but since this is place a bastion of liberal Democrat support (as you put it) Actually I was implying that it may be seen that way, and even if you see it that way that doesn't fully explain what was going on. > but since this is place a bastion of liberal Democrat support (as you put it) Not true. There are some vocal Trump supporters here (out at least they were, they've been quiet of late). Unsupported statements are often called out on both sides. It may happen more for one side than the other, but that just means it's up to people like you to ask. If you can do it in a respectful way, you're part of the solution (and I suspect you'll get upvotes for it). That's also a very vocal set of libertarians that are happy to explain or argue the finer points of their reasoning. > but since this is place a bastion of liberal Democrat support (as you put it) I don't think that really has any place in this discussion, but I'll humor you. No, I don't think they would. There are many Republicans working at Google. This is about a specific aspect of the company policy which happens to align with professed democratic principles. An employee publicly called that policy into question in a way that was easy for some to see as bigotry. That's a PR nightmare, and puts a spotlight on the company in a way they don't like, all because of one person. The PR nightmare alone is enough to cause the firing. Everything else just made the decision easier.
