I have assumed that many tech companies, especially in California and other liberal strongholds, hold this opinion. Like I said, they live in their insular bubbles, and imagine that the rest of the country is either deplorable and poor or they share their views.
Meanwhile, I work in a relatively conservative industry that also happens to have one of the largest budgets of any 'company' in the world. I have seen first hand when vendors were being evaluated for multi-million (or even billion) dollar projects, both Google and Github being crossed off the list without a second thought due to some of the publicly made political statements and actions of their executives and employees.
