Welcome to the real world. The vast majority of all political donations from tech companies and employees go to the left ( source: https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus?ind=B13 https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus?ind=B13 ). Techies who are somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum or on the right have dealt with these feelings for decades, and they've never gotten an article like this about how depressed they are.
People like Zuck change positions based on whoever is in power. In 2020, Meta was very pro-censorship and worked with the Biden admin on censoring users, and BAM! in late 2024 - just a really big coincidence that had nothing to do with the election I am sure - Zuck released a statement and a video against censorship and Meta changed their policies to better align with free speech. If liberals win the next election, rest assured they will go back to supporting whatever the party in power favors. The political winds changed, and big tech needs to stay in the good graces of whoever is in power. That's just reality.
