If anyone reads the journals of the far-left, like The Baffler, Dissent, or Jacobin, I can tell you they view Trump more positively than Silicon Valley.
The Baffler in particular ran a scratching article about “protests” from Silicon Valley. Keep in mind this is an extremely liberal magazine that is the heir to the 1960’s New York intellectual scene.
The Baffler found this group called, I kid you not, “Boutique Activist Consultancy”, who spew such meaningless nonsense like “the next trigger for mass revolution will be a contagious mood that spreads throughout the world and human community”. This group, out of Berkeley, charges a mid-5 figure fee for such wisdom. They’ve since locked down most of their website, but you can find it, along with their self-published CreateSpace Amazon E-Book, here: http://activist.boutique http://activist.boutique
Basically it’s hard to believe any of the liberal beliefs coming out of the SF area anymore, more likely they exist simply as a means to protect wealth and corporations. Google has for years ratcheted up their donations to Republicans, while many VC’s are suspected to be Republicans in their own right.
