I actually didn't know this but it makes a fucking lot of sense considering how much Reddit in general has aligned with the Democratic Party ideological consensus, especially with how pro-imperialism, anti-Russia and anti-China the site has become. The whiplash is especially alarming if you were around between 2013-2016 when GamerGate started the reactionary wave that culminated in Trump.
For a long time the ideological bent of the site depended on the community, but in general over the course of the Trump era the liberals have absolutely become hegemonic site-wide, save for the islands of reaction that have yet to be banned and where the Trump cultists have fled, like /r/conservative or /r/jordanpeterson
Well yeah, republicans are all over the place and fuck things up in term of investment in pure finance. Tecb hate trade wars because software that's cloud based doesn't care where you are from as long as the check clears.
I used to go argue on /r/conservative around the trump inauguration. It was crazy to watch it go from the kinda conservative where they're a bit reactionary but mostly reaganite to full on trump chuds. They used to actually try to talk through their views and make conversation. Then they just got mad when you went away from the talking points. Then I got banned.

The liberal stance is more profitable for the tech industry.
Silicon Valley has pretty openly jumped in bed with the Democrats for a couple years now

Yeah. It's all about making a safe space for Diet Coke ads. That's the dominant ideology of the tech industry. :zizek-ok:
