content: Maybe not a majority, but definitely silent. I avoid discussing anything political at work. If I do, I never express any direct opinion. I’m neither left wing nor right wing. I can imagine a clearly right wing programmer would be even more careful. I keep in mind the Asian programmers I work with. They’re talented people. When the white, liberal co‐workers around them are talking about anything political they never seem to be interested. They continue to focus on their work. Whether or not they are wearing headphones they seem as though they are barely aware of people talking. I honestly can’t tell if they are uninterested or intentionally avoiding these discussions, but the result is the same. They have zero issues where their opinions might clash with their co‐workers. Seeming to be uninterested or uninformed is my best strategy with people I need to maintain a professional relationship with. Right wing people may not care, but today’s liberals who spend too much time online tend to lose their minds if they meet an informed person who is not on their team. That threatens their belief that all of the smart, informed people are with them.
