At liberal tech companies, those who disagree on politics say they’re isolated
I grew up in Texas but worked in Silicon Valley for a few years. One of the toughest adjustments was going from a small conservative town to a major liberal populace. It was astonishing the number of people who got angry _at me_ for having a different opinion then they did.<p>At one workplace I saw two coworkers get into a fist fight because the liberal was &quot;offended&quot; that the conservative differed on a viewpoint.<p>Go to Texas and I&#x27;m sure you can find the opposite if you are looking for it. It&#x27;s just a shame that we&#x27;re letting society create the lens that we want to see, and we push things out that don&#x27;t fit into our comfy bubble blanket.<p>Edit: To clarify what people got angry at me most: I told them I voted for Bush. It was simply that statement, nothing more.
