It's not so much that the random startup person would be a Republican (I'm not sure they even are?) as that many seem to be buzzword-slinging airheads who've never read anything but YA novels and self-help blogs. There are plenty of conservatives (in CS academia and elsewhere) who've read Hayek and the Chicago school and can make an intelligent and informed argument for that side of economics & politics. They might be wrong (they are), but they at least have an argument. The disrupt/Rand people remind me more of Christian fundamentalists, in that they just have some slogans and faith.
